Okay, just a thought here (geez, I can't worthily communicate with someone quoting Lovecraft so early in the morning!--but fwiw:) I think you oughtta try the stealth kiss again. Gotta be stealthy. See how it feels to you. See how it feels to her (you'll know). I know for sure that if at some point my xH had taken my head in his hands and laid one, genuine kiss on me, it would have bent my end of the time-space continuum. It would have been real, as you said, instead of me trying to figure out just wtf is going on in my head or in his. It would have cut thru the crap--maybe not thru the fog, but thru the crap. Tangible reality, not confusion, mucking around, intellectualizing, rationalizing.

Just a thought.
