A kiss without a hug is like a flower without the fragrance.
Proverb
When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking over what I had missed
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then
Oh, Lord, I kissed her again
Oh….. kisses sweeter than wine
Oh….. kisses sweeter than wine
The Weavers
From their song Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm,
Yes many loved before us, I know we are not new,
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
But now it’s come to distances and both of us must try,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
That’s No Way to Say Goodbye
The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
