A Spontaneous Gesture

Kids are clearly seen through their sheer innocence, and giving a kiss is a spontaneous gesture they return without any expectations and there's no malice in that, or need for engaging in adventure. How do they learn to express friendship on a given day? They see how we show it through warm kisses and perform them among themselves in an innocuous way; oh, hear their loud laughter displaying cute faces! My first kiss felt like the balmy spring wind caressing a fragrant rose, and the longer I delayed it, the more I seem to enjoy it.... while Erica, the red-haired girl, was too shy but consented it; and I, a starry-eyed Romeo, amused my Juliet with the longest prose. Innocent times were part of a gentler era when giving kisses and embracing was a manifestation of affection somehow truer than the ones that are given today to escape tension; let me recollect the one I gave to pretty Erica!
