Women kiss better than girls. I first realized this when I turned 21 and dated a few 18 year olds. The kisses were wet and sloppy and they felt like they were lost. Than I met an older woman at a bar. Her name was Layla and she wore suits to work. She was 27 when I was 21. She was drinking a martini across from me as I sat on the table drinking my smirnoff. My friend got up to go to the restroom and that's when Layla made her move. She asked if she could join me on my drink as she slipped a tequila sunrise my way. We made small talk which turned into laughs after a huge tab. We both have forgotten about our friends at this point. Within an hour, she's sitting so close to me that I can smell that perfumed oil she uses behind her ears. And than she kisses me. Heaven. Her kisses were never lost or sloppy. Her hand is running up and down, from the space of skin between my eyebrow and hairline to the curve of my jaw.Women kiss better than girls, I think with a dreamy, drunk smile as I draw away. Women kiss so much better than girls.
My lips were going numb but I did not give a shit, I did not want her to stop. I loved sitting next to her. She's wearing this black skirt suit with high heels and sitting next to her, me in jeans, biker jacket and doc martens. I remember turning into jello everytime she'd hold my hand and lean over to kiss me. Those few months were fantastic. I can't help but wonder where she is right now. I'd like to call her but, since I've never been good at keeping numbers to stay in touch, I haven't got the slightest idea how to locate her.
Women kiss better than girls, I think to myself every time I have a tequila sunrise. Women kiss so much better than girls.
Now, at 29 years old, I am that woman.
