All relationships start off fantastically, with passion, excitement and hope. Often this dissipates and so ends the relationship but even those that are lucky enough to find a life partner will never again experience the feelings associated with the first kiss.

The reasons why are obvious. The warmth of that first embrace, the touch of someone new, a racing heart flipping turns and elevated breathing all go together to make it an experience never to be repeated. It really is a one off occurrence and we would all love to replicate it. Unfortunately though we cannot.

I suspect that if we could all emulate that first kiss anticipation each and every time that a lot more relationships would remain intact but that would be wrong. The first kiss should lead us to desire the second and the third and hopefully a lifetime of sharing those precious moments. We all know that it is never to be repeated but we all hope that it stimulates an internal chain reaction that will keep us coming back for more.

I cannot remember my very first real kiss. I wish I could and I wish I had put that experience in a little box inside my head that I could revisit now and again but I did not and it has been lost to age. I cannot even recall the recipient and that saddens me somewhat.

First kisses can be few for some and numerous for others. The numerous types do not savour the time shared with the partner but those types do not deserve to feel what the rest of us feel. A drunken snatched moment in time can never realize the potential of what it should be. It can barely be remembered a few hours later let alone years later and that is wrong no matter what way you view it.

The first kiss must surely be one of the most under rated moments in a lifetime. It deserves to be revered more than it already is and we should attach a modicum of importance to it. I for one will never again share in that moment with another woman as I have chosen to share my life with my beautiful partner but I have to admit some loss at this. That time has passed never to be revisited and that leaves me somewhat sad. I would never chose to change it but still it is gone.

The first kiss should perhaps be viewed as stage one on a multi-level journey. If we manage to pass that first stage and it intrigues us sufficiently to encourage a second kiss and a third and many more then we can accept that it was meant to be. It is the catalyst for something bigger, it breathes life into a possibility and it reminds us that life has some wonderful moments to be cherished.
