Lovers arrive at their first kisses with scars as well as longings. They're not always looking for advantage. Some need shelter, others press only for the hyperreality of ecstasy, for which they'll tell outrageous lies or make irrational sacrifice. But they rarely ask themselves what they need or want.
Lovers often approach their initial moments of intimacy with both emotional wounds and deep desires. They are not solely motivated by personal gain; instead, some seek comfort while others chase the heightened pleasure of love, sometimes resorting to bold deceptions or unreasonable sacrifices.
Despite these intense emotions and actions, individuals seldom reflect on their true needs or desires in the realm of romance. The interplay of their past experiences and present cravings influences their behavior, highlighting the complexity of human connections and the search for meaningful relationships.
