Platonic Intimacy

Updated: Jul 11, 2023

My unwavering certainty in this world

They see me at my highest point

at my lowest

and all in between

When loneliness creeps down my spine, when I have a wound severed in my heart

I have a source of hearth

Something friends give; so pure, so raw

Where my sad tears dry on my cheeks, yet new ones form from laughter

Oftentimes, we forget the power of youth

For youth sets us birds free

Let us not forget to cherish these moments before we age

Until we will find ourselves

With stiff smiles, like a mask, plastered onto our face

With high pitched greetings, omitting our truth,

Backing away from exposing our deepest secrets and crude jokes that we once made

Where now we clear our throats and cross our legs and brag about our spouses and children,

Cackling laughs that were once genuine

Forever shall we hug our friends more

Tell them you love them

To destroy the belief that

Platonic intimacy must be reserved

Embrace love, embrace youth

Carry it until the day we die.
