sure, i'll let you use my lips to practice kissing—
in fact, i'll even run my tongue over yours a few
and make like i'm kissing back
but they'll be no
real
passion
no.

i left it on the others' lips;
you'll have to sort through, go back and find them,

or else

stay here with me and sharpen your skills
for we both know we're not the Other.
