Each year on July 6, International Kissing Day is celebrated around the world, and this year for many it may feel a little different. With many of us separated from our loved ones due to lockdown measures, hugging and kissing friends and family may not be possible.
However, you can still celebrate International Kissing Day, by spending time virtually with your loved ones.
This can be sending messages, greetings and poems, using video chatting or just letting your loved one know you are there.
International Kissing Day was first celebrated in 2006 to commemorate the kissing which takes place between lovers, and to celebrate the place it holds in our society.
If you want to commemorate the day, below are some messages, poems and greetings to send to your loved ones.

I have so many ways to prove my love for you, but on this day, I prefer to start everything with a kiss. Happy kiss day my love.
2. The best thing to wake up in the morning is your kiss. You make me forget the whole world with your kiss. I love you.
3. Kissing lets us fall in love with each other again and again and make us flawless in the eyes of each other forever. Happy kiss day.
Sir Philip Sidney, Astrophil and Stella Sonnet 79
Sweet kiss, thy sweets I fain would sweetly indite,
Which even of sweetness sweetest sweet’ner art:
Pleasing’st consort, where each sense holds a part;
Which, coupling doves, guides Venus’ chariot right
William Shakespeare – Sonnet 128
How oft when thou, my music, music play’st,
Upon that blessed wood whose motion sounds
With thy sweet fingers when thou gently sway’st
The wiry concord that mine ear confounds,
Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap,
To kiss the tender inward of thy hand,
Whilst my poor lips which should that harvest reap,
At the wood’s boldness by thee blushing stand!
To be so tickled, they would change their state
And situation with those dancing chips,
O’er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait,
Making dead wood more bless’d than living lips.
Since saucy jacks so happy are in this,
Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss.
