Sometimes reality blurs and I pretend that the man acting like he loves me really does. But eventually I have to face reality again with nothing but a fading memory of what I have yet to grasp.
A kiss is just a kiss to many, but on stage it is an experience and an expression of emotion with no guilt or fear or ugliness attached. It is without consequence.
