a first kiss is something really special to me and am incredibly grateful for. it's something i've always wondered about since a young age, but the one that really counted and felt right wasn't until the age of seventeen. from an embarrassing time to when i kissed a boy during kindergarten nap time (and actually got in trouble for it), to when i kissed a boy on the cheek in the fifth grade, none felt like what a last first kiss would feel like. it was intimate, magical, and the memory of it stuck with me since. it was also then when i knew, i'd never experience my first kiss the same way i did with this boy ever again, nor with anyone else.
