Pretty Woman

She said she does not kiss on the lips. Luckily so does he. When they fell in love, that first kiss just felt all the more sweeter. I could almost feel the tingling sensation of two soft, cold lips nervously making that first touch .... and the warm breath that would follow....

No, this isn't me. I am watching a movie, crying. I did not cry because of my imagination. I cried because from where I am, I just knew it would be impossible that I'd be graced with that feeling anytime soon.

Who am I kidding? Myself?

I was talking about the movie "Pretty Woman" and it wasn't entitled as such for nothing. Princessess who get rescued from their towers do not weight 165 lbs. They do not stand 4'11" and they do not have ugly red scally patches on their face, arms and back.

But yes, I do want to be rescued too. And yes, kissed. But I guess I should be old enough to know that not everybody gets to live their fairy tale. Some would just have to settle on reading about these magical kisses or watching them on screen. I belong to that group. Still I continue to hope that it does not remain that way.
