Virgin Lips
V.L. Stands for Virgin Lips. It’s a term that should be far more widespread and is the status your lips should hold for more than the first ten years of your life. People don’t seem to realize that once you give your first kiss away, there's no going back. Once you give it, it's gone for life. No over-sized eraser can fade the marks of crimson lipstick. This applies not just to the virginity of your lips, but of your body... When you start young, you end young. No refunds. No exchanges. Final sale; take it or leave it. Once it's gone, it's gone. Forever. When learning this lesson in life, you get no second chances, just one shot. Take it or leave it? I choose to leave it. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm waiting until marriage, waiting for Love. True Love. Not the deception of Lust, Love's shadow; she who wanders dingy streets, ambling with outstretched hands, ever-searching for something clean and pure to defile with her filthy hands... Sugar has a substitute: Splenda; glasses have a substitute: contacts; Guitar Hero has a substitute: Rock Band! But when it comes to Love, there is no substitute. So save your lovin’ for the one you really love, the one who you’ll spend the rest of your life with. And hey, no worries!—you’ll have ample time to practice kissing when you have the rest of your life to do so.

So, in my vision it's my wedding night. And my husband decides to tell me how grateful he is to be a virgin. And how much it means to him that his one true love is his first, and how he wouldn't want it any other way. And if i'm not a virgin...then what? How will I fell about myself? People don't notice this, but once you have sex with someone, your giving them a part of you. You're showing them a vulnerable side of yourself, and once you give that part of urself away, you can never get it bak. And if it's with the wrong person, it will leave you felling empty and depressed. Sex means everything...no matter how hard people try to say it means nothing, it means everything. So saving yourself, not only keeps you un infected by dangerous STD 's but it keeps you whole and it makes it easier to respect yourself. Your body is your temple.
peace out!
