I went to a writer's workshop today and the prompt was "write a love letter written to a non-romantic friend". So I wrote a poem Love Letter to an Aromantic Friend

The truth was revealed
As truth is
In the things you didn't do
An unanswered touch
A glance that never met

And yet when we sit
Side by side
Reading our separate books
Playing separate games
I feel your soul with mine

And while you may not
It is true
Long for me as I for you
I can live with that
If you would live with me

And so I ask you
Via text
If you would join my comfort
Spending life with me
Doing separate things

@nazgul I absolutely love that you didn't make this a "it's not romantic but I love ou anyway."
Especially because.... oh, it resonates. It's real.
@geonz Thank you! I was hoping I had captured it.
