Just a Kiss

"You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (just) a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by…"

A kiss can be passion and desire, or a kiss can be a wish; a wish for something intangible, a want for something unattainable. I took her arm and drew her close, a quick kiss, a desire fulfilled. Curiosity, maybe nothing more, just one of the random effects of life—of this job. She responded with some tentativeness, but then there was no fear. A kiss and a caress, but then a phone call, several times. It was just a kiss; interrupted by life, a wish for something unknown. She is very much like me, passionate and strong willed, a curiosity for me. No attachment came from that kiss, but I wonder what would have happened if our kiss had continued that night.

Attraction is a curious thing, sometimes in is one way, sometimes it is mutual. The curiosity that comes from wanting to know what something would be like is sometimes never fulfilled. Yet when he kissed me and I kissed him, that curiosity grew. From a quick kiss, to a deeper one, holding one another close. I laughed when our phones and pagers rang, it seemed like some things I would never know. When we left, it was over, a moment that passed into the cold night. I was curious, he was curious; and sometimes that is all that is needed for a kiss, and sometimes a kiss is just a kiss. Yet I wonder where else that kiss could have gone.


Please R&R.
This is my first SVU fic (not my first fanfic) I like the show, and I don't like how people overreacted to this kiss, so I thought that I could write a short POV piece to make the scene seem benign.
