Spirit of a Kiss

There is no greater act of courage 
than being the one who kisses first.
Many people have passionate dreams. 
Some of which are never forgotten.
The pleasure we give out of love for another person  
is when the innocent become the intimate.
We must be brave enough to admit our mistakes, 
smart enough to profit from them, 
yet strong enough to correct them.
As we try to learn from the past, 
we plan for the future by focusing 
exclusively on the present. 
That is what dreams are made of.
A smile is the second best thing 
a person can do with their lips.
A kiss is a means of allowing two people 
to become so passionate together 
they cannot see anything 
beyond the spirit of the kiss.
There is no greater act of courage 
than being the one who kisses first...
