The Alchemist Within.

Do remember the moment you saw that person that made you feel electric? Do recall the raw emotion of chemistry? Do inventory of the blast, of the boom, of the expulsion of light and heat when you finally kissed? I know that for some, the occasion is few and far between, might I say even once-in-a-life-time, now for others, it is a daily occurrence. However, think of one of those magical moments with the opposite sex. You are both sitting down, perhaps introduced by someone else. Your eyes meet then turn away. You don't want to look too eager, too interested, too desperate, so you continue the illusion of casual conversation mixed with banter. Oh glorious banter! a woman's secret code,the words mean nothing and everything at the same time. You poor men just don't have a chance, because you have no idea how to decipher it. Then you send out the first of a series of beacons, the little signals to let your target know he or she has been singled out from the rest of the group. The touching of their hand after a funny joke, the stroking of the neck as you listen more intently, (now ladies this is a biggie in our arsenal) the wetting of the lips or the arching of the eyebrow is a green light. After you have put up one or more of these sign posts, the dreaded waiting starts. Will the beacon be answered? Was my message clear? Is it a deal? Bam! The serve is returned. A rally of flirtatious looks, comments, and taps begin. Your conversation is limited to only the two of you. Everyone else in the room realizes that the two of you are off the market, at least for that moment. As a shot of courage is sent through your body, the words ring out, "Can I walk you to your...?" With that said you know what comes next, the highly anticipated kiss. I get chills just writing about it. The first kiss is probably one of the best things about being a grown-up. Why is it such a big deal? The molecular make up of skin is the same for everyone. If you've kissed one person, it should be the same experience every time. Why the fireworks? I am sure that the scientific community can tells us what occurs biologically and psychologically. The changes in chemistry in our bodies or a hormonal flux...whatever the test tube tells us, I know that magic exist and it is great!
