Not My Lips

You can kiss my cheek
You can kiss my neck
You can kiss my forehead
You can't kiss my lips

You can kiss my nose
You can kiss my hand
You can kiss my soul
You can't kiss my lips

For the lips is the most intimate kiss
It is where our words meet
The "I love you" on the tip of our tongues
Bound by circumstance to not touch, yet

As much as I long to meet you there
As much as I want to call you mine
As much as I want to feel your energy caress my skin
We may not kiss

We can kiss on the cheek
We can kiss on the forehead
We can kiss on the hand
We can't kiss on the lips
