"Change your mind..."

What is it about a kiss that can be so dangerous...

You meet someone.  It's edgy.  It's mysterious.  It's adventurous.  It's scary.  It's thrilling.  It's invigorating.  It's terrifying.  Then, you kiss that person.  This person, this being, this physical representation of the soul within that you've been yearning for.  Everything that you've done, not done, thought and not thought has lead up to that point.  Time stops for a second, just enough for everything to slow down and go silent.  Edges blur, colors soften, everything becomes bathed in a soft glow.  You hear a single heart beat.  Just one.  And it's like...it's like an almost unfathomable force comes storming down like thunder and lightning being hurled from the clouds by Zeus himself, and breaks through a wall made of solid steel and diamond and every other combination of all the hardest substances known and unknown on this Earth.  And all you have left...is rubble.
Now, everything changes.

Your move...
