Anonymity and Oblivion are two lands I hope never to visit, which is why my first kiss had to be special for both members involved. I would hate to be forgotten. I wanted to share my first kiss with someone who would not only enjoy it, but also appreciate it and actually remember it---and, even more importantly, remember that he experienced it with me. He would have to remember me as a person before he remembered my lips or my tongue or the curve of my back. The only way to ensure that he would remember our experience together was to select someone
new to the
art of
kissing himself. After all, people almost never forget the first and last time they did something, even if they often lose count of what happens in between each time. And although I could not ensure that I would be the last
woman a man kissed (unless he were on the verge of dying), I could ensure that I would be his first and therefore remain in his mind for as long as he had a sound memory. In this way, I would also avoid becoming just another tally mark to him because becoming a statistic is just as dehumanizing as being completely forgotten.
