i will never get to
taste the sweetness
of your lips - their soft
firmness. the hunger of them.
i'll never feel your lips
eagerly wanting my lips,
the way they would part
to welcome me inside.
i'll never surround your lips
with every fibre of every ounce
of all the good and bad that i carry
in my heart and soul, mind and body
for one moment, all of it channeled
into one passionate kiss
no. i never will.
