A Kiss

I saw him standing on the sidewalk, surrounded by plastic in which he had his belongings. I walked by him at first but then i thought of something, turned around and starting walking towards him. I felt really guilty holding a cup with hot coffee in my hands, while he had nothing to eat or drink. 
He looked cold, lonely and miserable. I hesitantly moved closer to him.
“ Sir can I buy you a cup of coffee?”  I asked.
“No honey, but can you spare some change so i can have dinner later?”
I reached in my pocket and pulled out a dollar and some change. “It’s not much but this is all I have”.
He said, “ Thank you but can I have a kiss too?” 
We both started laughing. I handed over the money and the three Hershey’s kisses that I had pulled out of my pocket with the money. Smiled and walked away.
