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
A stare or a look is more powerful than a kiss. A stare may be imprinted in your mind forever but a kiss may be forgotten.
When a person stares at you and looks at you in the eyes intently, don't you feel conscious? When the person you love stares at you, you feel something inside of you, don't you?
Yes, we all know that a kiss is also memorable most especially when you shared that with the one you truly love. But a look lasts more than a kiss. A stare really lasts in your mind but a kiss may be forgotten at times.
A kiss may be given to anyone anytime even without love. But when someone stares at you, it really means a lot. You don't know whether a person is staring at you because there is something in your face or if that person wants something from you. But for whatever reason that stare is for, you know it really means something. Inside of you, you always think what that stare means.
But for whatever reason, I know that a stare lasts more than a kiss. A kiss only lasts for moment but a stare lasts for a lifetime or even forever.

why is it that your reaction on the poem 'the look' is so short?
