[RetroLounge]

once upon. a time.

there were lips. on the side of her neck.
well not lips. but the prints of lips.
left red on her skin. where my lips
were once. upon a time. or upon
a hundred times.

I said whose lips?
and she said
I cannot tell you

Cannot? I said

Cannot. she said
because I don't know.

someone danced past us
nipples through thin fabric
I thought briefly
of the fabric and
of the fabric falling away.
and then what to do next.

it was a moment.
and then it was gone.
like love between lovers.
eventually.

whose lips? I said again
this time a little louder.

I do not know
she said

do not? I said

do not she said
because I can't
tell you

the music was too loud
for me to leave her
then and there.

not loud enough
for me to think about forever.

whose lips? I almost said again
but decided against it.

and put my lips next to those
on her neck

I felt her pulse there
under my lips under someone else's lips
and knew that
no matter what no matter who
time kept moving forward
even under her skin
just like always.

well, since i've never had a strict virgin -- maybe a virgin to certain things -- it is ever thus.
