Romantic or Platonic ?
ella Jul 2022
When i daydream of someone, you are the someone.
The someone can change.
I realize i'm picturing you, and so i change it.
I change the picture, i change the person, i change the plot, i change the you, the me, the time, the page.
I change it to fit; fit my story.
It's a book and i'm the author.
I go back, i rewind, i scribble over, i erase, i whiteout; the plot has begun to develop hole's.
I fill those hole's with "platonic," "platonic," "platonic."
In reality, i want you.
I think i want you.
But i don't know you.
I don't even know myself.
When i daydream, i'm also different.
I change me, too, sometimes.
You see, the book is missing a few pages in each chapter.
Every chapter, there's a new character.
I don't know if that character is always me.
I don't know the difference between platonic and romantic, is there one?
Explain it to me.
I'm a visual learner.
Ignore that, scribble it out.
When i daydream, i daydream you.
When i daydream, i daydream him.
When i daydream, i daydream me.
When i daydream, i daydream romance.
When i daydream, i daydream platonic.
When i, when, well i, you, him, me?
This isn't reality, it's a ******* fantasy book.
It's a dream, a dream where maybe i could know you and i could know me.
A dream where we knew each other.
A dream where i don't try to convince myself i don't like you.
A dream where we are even living in the same space. Same country would do.
A dream. Romantic dream.
But when i open my eyes, when i shut down my imagination, well then.
Platonic, platonic, platonic.

Like the sun is to the moon,
The stars to the sky,
Dirt to the ground,
Trees to the planet.
You are to me,
I am to you.
We are to ourselves,
We are to each other.
You are my person.
I hope I can be yours.
