hypothermia

 i miss you and i long for you most days
 i remember  your body's shape and texture
 its precise temperature and pressure
 against my chest

 two hearts high-fiving each other-
 keeping time with life;
 two chests expanding into one another,
 growing off the other's warmth.

 there was time
 time     enough 
 time    for more

 a moment   outside time
 to recall when inside time,
 when our chests have 
 gone their separate ways,

 huddling their own warmth

Hmmmm...
This is one of the primary reasons I have sworn off a romantic kind of love all together, Marcus.
I have no use for it whatsoever.
I mean, who needs the heartache?
When you get right down to brass tacks, "Love" is simply "Lust" with a much heftier price tag attached.
Gimme friends with benefits–that's all I need.
Nice writing.
Welcome to Cosmo.

Thanks, Dean. Actually, the poem was inspired by platonic friendship. I just attached the romantic label, assuming that's what others will read into it anyway. Messy and complex, I agree.

Love is grand without it life is so deprived, so fight for it, keep it safe - it is what we were
created for ❤️
