What you see in this picture

The picture on the left, The Kiss by Robert Doisineau, was taken over five decades ago and is still a favorite with people like me. The picture was taken spontaneously, two anonymous people in Paris. One has to wonder exactly what was going on with that picture, other than the actual kiss. It's obviously passionate, and impulsive. Something tells me this couple was just walking along the street and the man just up and planted one on his sweetheart.

Considering the location, Paris, and being that it has the reputation of being on the most romantic cities of the world, seeing a kiss like that in the photo does not surprise me. It has always evoked a feeling of longing, though, to experience that again whether it has just been a short time in between embraces like that, or a long time. The rollercoaster passion, that feeling in your stomach that makes it drop when you're away from the person you want to be with most, the passion that would make you make an absolute fool of yourself for the love of your life. Looking at this photo, I wouldn't be able to determine how long these people had been together for, whether they had just recently met, or were married. All I know is that it is inspiring, and makes me want to always keep that aspect alive in my love relationship.
