Platonic...

There are worse things in
the world than to be called,
"Just Friends"

But being "platonic" is
like a runner-up prize -
a toaster you don't want

When a kiss to the cheek
is merely a fancy,
accustomed salutation

Caressing their arm
gives you tingles, but
to them, static shock

While secretly pining
for more, we dig deeper
into our grave "made for one" --

Not realizing that a little
bit of something, is better
than nothing at all...
