The Look

Strephon kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

But Colin only looked at me

And never kissed at all.
Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,

Robin's lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin's eyes

Haunts me night and day.
-- Sara Teasdale

Have we ever tried staring to someone or should we say being stared by someone?

Have we ever tried being kissed by someone we really do not love?

The experience of getting kissed. Well ,this will really be hard for me since I haven't tried to kiss and being kissed by someone special. But for me, kissing someone really takes a lot of courage and confidence. The men in the poem really showed confidence and courage in kissing her but why does she doesn't love what they did? Why did she like the way Strephon looked at her even though he did not kiss her? It is because it was really full of sincerity. Like love, you really have to be sincere in showing your love to the other person because it is more appreciated when everything you do is from the heart.

As what I have said earlier, it really takes courage when you kiss someone. But you know what, it takes more courage to stare at someone's eyes because you really have to be sincere and you must show what you feel for him or her just through the eyes. Yes, it is difficult but you do not have to kiss someone just to tell him or her if what you really feel is true. One sincere stare and, poof! She or he is yours!

As a girl, it is really flattering and very heart-melting if a guy would stare at you and you will really feel that he or she has feelings for you. It is very flattering because it is not usual nowadays because during these times, people show affection by telling you face to face their feelings for you.

For me, there is really nothing wrong if a guy will stare at you unless he has an eye defect(joke!), there is nothing wrong with that, it is just if you feel that the way he stares you is real, then it is very much fine with me. I prefer that the guy will stare at me in showing his feelings for me rather than kissing me. It just shows that he really has respect for me and that is very important to me, and, I think it is sweet for a guy who will really respect you.
