platonic

imagine if we could just

sit

together,

hands touching like

insects walking on water.

imagine if we could lay

on the couch

and stare at the ceiling

and laugh without fear of

disease.

imagine if we could turn off the tv

and turn on our minds

and dream of tomorrow's ideas.

imagine

if we could just look

at each other's eyes

without worrying

about the stress of physical contact.

imagine if we could just

live

for one day,

sharing candy and laughing

without worrying about masks.

imagine

if we could just hug

without worrying about safety.

imagine if

we could be lovers

without ever sharing a kiss.
