Being kissed!

There is no way to simulate "a kiss":    The part of loving you "can't" do alone. For single folks - I know it's grossly missed;    and chiefly what the unattached bemoan. There's naught that one can do to improvise,    as nothing! can replace another's lips! Believe me, I have made a thousand tries    resulting, in as many...useless trips. A lover's kiss is often the prelude    to e'en a closer coupling of souls. It can suspend - but seldom starts a feud;    It's priceless when employed...to console. I challenge you to replicate "alone"    the feelings that you had when last you kissed. Use any sense you like to set the tone;    and if you want - all five of them enlist! If you have solved this problem, let me know;    as well the others, in this lonely boat. But please don't say our names or faces show...    it's sad enough - with all we've had to cope. Too often is my single-life like this;    The times when for a partner I am lack; If there's one thing that rivals being kissed...    it's feelings that you get...when kissing back.
