I remember the electrifying moment when someone I deeply cared for kissed me, and it triggered an out-of-body experience. The anticipation and tension leading up to that kiss had been building for quite some time. Our friendship spanning 15 years culminated in that unexpected moment, as we stood in the doorway of my living room. His sudden kiss enveloped me, and it felt as if I was intertwined with his essence. Time seemed to stand still as we shared what felt like hours of intimate connection through that kiss. It was that night when I found myself falling irrevocably in love with him, although, in retrospect, I realized that my affection for him had been present all along. I had always believed that kissing him was akin to, if not surpassing, the intensity of lovemaking. It became clear to me that this was what being with "The One" felt like.
