platonic love

platonic love

is the only kind of love i yearn for

i found that it’s the purest form of fondness

though family love is the strongest

it’s tainted with obligations and unrealistic expectations

and though

romantic love is what i was taught to search for

it is stained with sexual desire,

with;

cheating,

lying,

pain,

and jealousy

and so-

platonic love is what i cling to

to see a person,

to know them, their sins and their good works,

and willing choose to walk through life with them.

not because of obligations,

not because you both desire each-other,

but because you admire them, to the core of their very being.
