Best friends or lovers?
Surely you are my dear companion.
We’ve made it clear and clearer.
My feelings are crystal, as are yours,
Yet at the mere suggestion from a stranger of a blossoming romance, you react in disgust, not disagreement.
Are you ashamed of me and my friendship, my darling buddy?
Is our platonic intimacy a humiliation to you?
I wish not to be desired by you. I want closeness not courtship.
Though I still think of you in the highest measure.I believed you felt the same.
But my joy of declaring my affections toward you is reciprocated by disgust.
You wish to hide me away, lest our kinship me made known,
You’d even sacrifice the integrity you’re so proud of to discard our fondness.
I am only remorseful for believing otherwise, my dearest companion.
