cuddle, well,
maybe.
arm finding lonely arm.
less lonely loneliness.
but friends,
friends don’t kiss.
is this home?
we hug with heat.
now as friends.
i want to kiss them again.
but friends,
friends don’t kiss.
lip meeting lip
as friends:
you wanted them
to be that.
to you.
just friends!
(…who kiss)
but friends,
friends don’t kiss.
