If we are meant to kiss one day, let's call it The Big Day, then we will meet again. This day, May 17th, four years from now. The Big Day. You'll be 21 then. That should be enough time to consider a kiss, yes? If you are willing and we are both as single as we are now, I will be at the airport on May 17th, your 21st birthday, and you will be there too, and I will kiss you like I want to right now.
