I-love-you-I-love-you-too*kiss*

I think one of the best “first” kisses is a kiss that isn’t the first, isn’t the last, but is the first time you realize, in the long line of kisses with a steady significant other that the kiss is automatic. Those “have-a-good-day-I-love-you-I-love-you-too” quick kiss and I’m out the door kisses. I often hear about these kind of kisses in a negative light, but I don’t think so. I mean how great is it to have someone you get to kiss “automatically”? Who’s there to kiss you back without thinking about it. There are still stomach-fluttering moments, giddy, heart-pounding times. But those can come with a stranger too. Or an aquaintance, a “new” love. But that natural, automatic kiss that seems like a throw-away, unthinking action is precious for that very reason. It’s a gift of time, and too often we take it for granted. But that’s part of it too. Having something so precious, so common. I keep hearing that line “It’s later than you think.” It might be, so time to smile with all the everyday things in life that make it good.
