Text by Stéphan Bordèse. “The Three Kisses” traces the emotional journey of love through three symbolic kisses. The first kiss is on the neck while the second is in the dimple of the girl’s smile. The lover boldly takes a chance with a third kiss on the mouth resulting in an exclamation of je t’aime, I love you, and the girl gladly accepts his kiss.
