“Just kiss me” is an over used feminine phrase. I wont lie, I’ve used it before, but aside from, “I love you” they are the three most thought provoking words any human can utter. First and foremost, one cannot, “just kiss” someone else. There’s always some kind of thought that goes into a kiss. Whether its been put off for weeks or its in that moment right before your lips meet, someone is thinking something. Then, you have the kiss itself. There’s an exchange of hearts without a single word spoken. Even those of us that falsely yet courageously tell our friends, “it meant nothing” know that part of us is now with that person. Lover’s lips can scream comfort or heartbreak, while lips of strangers proclaim, “I’m most likely a mistake, but one worth making!” Then comes the worst part of this, “just kiss me” madness: the moments after. Following the lip lock are thousands of questions. Is this goodbye? Why did that happen? What have I gotten myself into? These thoughts grind themselves into our subconscious preventing us from sleeping. We suddenly begin to listen to every song that you could possibly relate to your situation, and find yourself crying for no reason at all, relating to the words we hear rhythmically pounding in our heads. You wonder because he kisses you yet you don’t know exactly what it means. You want answers to impossible questions all because you had to, “just kiss him.” Without human intervention, as soon as lips touch, both hearts barricade themselves behind walls of steel and prepare to shatter. Through thirty seconds of passion, we open ourselves to delight or devastation. No matter the outcome, we’ve willingly made ourselves vulnerable. No one can protect us once we’ve kissed someone. Even in the most casual kiss goodnight holds a hint of inquiry. Still, we as humans…we as girls, freely risk our hearts. Why? Because even though we say we’ve given up on love and want nothing to do with the opposite sex, we secretly know that sometime when we least expect it, were “just going to kiss” that one guy and suddenly, we know we’ll never have to “just kiss” anyone ever again.
