Thats a line taken from the same song by the legendary group ,the Manhattans.In the song the guy is asking for one last favour in the form of a kiss before they go their separate ways to take care of their respective families. Now this line begs that some questions be asked .Firstly would you grant this wish without feeling like the relationship was being reduced to a cheap kiss and he/she was seeking one last thrill .In additon would it be wise to grant this kiss knowing that this would be the last thing on your mind and if it was good ,it would always be reminding you of the good times and make you want to get more .Consequently I am thinking that if you want to end this relationship a lass kiss may be ill-advised . What are your views on this issue ,grant a last kiss or forego this thrill? In addition,do you think that a men and women respond differently if they were asked for a last kiss.I am thinking that a woman may see it as a cheap thrill while many men may agree but Ill let you decide

If I was in a situation where I knew I would not ever see that person again I doubt I would want a last kiss. It is not that I would see it as a cheap thrill or anything but if the person I was separating from was someone I cared about a lot, a last kiss would linger in my memory long after he was gone and I would probably miss him more and feel worse!

I agree with you Paula ,well maybe I would want that last thrill but I know logically it may not be the best idea so I would probably forego it

A last kiss would do than nothing at all. It's a good way of commencing all of the turnaround emotions you both have shared in the past. But I know for a fact, that kiss isn't all. There's always something more that both keep within after the separation.

It all depends. If Both people Know it is over and they agree that they will Never get back together, then one last kiss could be a good thing. But if one is breaking it off and the other Still believes there is a chance they can get back together, that " last kiss" may be ill advised. If it is Really good , the person who is still holding on may get the wrong idea.

I have never kiss and say goodbye,and if am saying goodbye it would not be with a kiss.I just love this song,I enjoy listening to it but i would do it in action... I could not give a last kiss,because i would get the chance to kiss that person again. This is a wonderful song but i would not give a last kiss,just hug and say goodbye.

Personally for me this is a hard question for me to answer. Would I grant one last kiss? It really depends on how I'm feeling at the time. I probably would not grant it just so they can think about what they would be missing.LOL

Ahhhh, the ole last kiss situation. To me it all depends how the couple are parting. In some cases they have to part but not because they want to but they have to for one reason or another. I can relate to that situation as I have been on both sides of that issue. Somtime circumstances put people into that situation. For example one or the other has to move away and the other person cannot go with them or they have very strong feeligs for eachother and they find they just can not be togather for whatever reason and they still have strong feelings for eachother. An example of this is when I was in Taiwan and grew to love the lady I was with and she loved me as well. I was in the navy at the time. We truly cared about eachother and I got orders to go to Vietnam. Well, that was a devastating moment for both of us. We knew the possibility existed I might not get back to her. We were both heatrbroken. During that time we knew the uncertainty of my return or of her ever seeing me again. It was a very emotional time in our lives and we both decided to seperate and if the fates deemed it we would somehow get back togather again. Well as you might guess we did not. We kept in contact for awhile but as the old saying goes,"Abcence Makes the Heart Grow Stronger; For Someone Else" So in answer to the topic I would say every situation is different. What do you think?

Hi, ronnyb. For me personally, I would be heart broken to be caught up in this situation. If my husband said this to me, I would be in so much of pain. I know that I would never get to see him again, and one last kiss will remind him of the love that we have shared in many ways. I will be sadden, because I love him and I know that we have to part and be away from each other. This is a very sad song, but it only applies if two people will never get back with each other. They just want to seal their last moments with a good-bye kiss.

You know what I have that song in my playlist to I get to listen to it almost every day. I wouldn't really mind giving a last kiss if it's not a bad break up. After all we have shared good times together.
