Dude

 We're now sensitive to the touch

and boundaries that serve

 the purpose of platonic love.

Embracing a touch that not only connects us,

but also announces a transformative

dynamic into blossom.

Our awareness's shifting and communicating.

Your expressive heart,

as essential as your breath.

Breathe with your heart, exhale

what may have exhausted and pulled you 

apart.

Preserve who you are, my friend.

Walk with delicacy and diligence in yourself.

I like it when we stick together.

Somehow I think I need you

and somehow, you scare me

because you play me like a piano 

unpredictably.

It makes me want to capture the way you breathe

in a jar and hold onto it like fireflies,

and your light never goes out.
