The Collected Stories - Amy Hempel

"When you kiss me like that, my heart is so stolen."

Okay, who hasn't felt this way? What is it about that person, the one who seems to steal your breath away with just a kiss? Something so magical, so passionate, so necessarily right in that kiss, that you just can't stop thinking about it for months afterward?
I'm going to get a little personal here. I've been stuck on a kiss like this for months, and even though I know the emotions behind that kiss were all built on a lie from an unworthy bastard of a man... I can't help but miss that kiss. Are we so wrong for wanting that lustful romance sometimes? Because, I mean, even though those lips belonged to someone I hardly want to speak to much less romantically embrace, I just can't stop thinking about that kiss that stole my heart and has kept my mind entranced for months.
