Zane I was kissing her again. It was becoming a thing, just like casual hand holding, or touching her, my lips had this insane mad desire to taste hers - and I watched myself, the self-control, the insecurity of people using me for their own selfish reasons, slowly slip away with each piece of myself I gave - each piece she took. Because that's what kissing was. Personal. Intimate. A very real way to share your feelings about someone without actually saying them - I was a wordsmith, it was my job to make people believe with my words that I was in love with them, that I was in love with love. But my lips? They had always been mine. My virginity, mine. They couldn't take it - because I refused to give it. Nobody should ever feel like they have to give pieces of themselves in order
