I try to make a Last Kiss Day post every year so here it goes…
Last Kiss is about that feeling that you’ve had something so special, something that feels so right and all the stars have aligned and you just can’t every imagine having to say goodbye to that thing - whether it be a significant other, a job…a loved one….
For me, Last Kiss resonated on a failed relationship. A relationship where for so long, there were no issues or rough patches until, suddenly, the train derailed and it was over.
I’ll always remember texting her that I was excited she was home from college for the weekend and that I hoped I could see her before she went back - then came the out of the blue “we should talk, can you come over now” text. Given the urgency and suddenness I suspected it wasn’t good, but little did I know it would end that night.
I had always thought we’d revisit it someday and maybe work out what we both wanted, but that never did happen. It’s been years now, we’ve both moved on to other people, different things. But I still think back to that time and how I felt and how I wanted things to be different then - especially on Last Kiss Day.
It’s okay to look back and remember, even if it stirs up feelings you’d much rather forget.
Last Kiss is one of those songs that has so much power, so much weight. Truly a masterpiece and one of my all time favorites.
Happy Last Kiss Day 2025 💜
ps. I went to the beach today and had a good time in the sun and surf, even if I was by myself.
