A Talk

When they asked
"Hey? You seem so loving...
Is it a form of attraction
Or a huge one-sided feeling?"

I want to just
Nod and shake:
"Listen, I relish them
And it is always so high."

"But your eyes when they pass?"
Bright, anything wrong...?
"The temper in an unfamiliar talk?"
It's normal 'favourite person syndrome'.
"Fast n click huh?"
I know what is like to wait.

How naive can I be
Behave in a sentimental way to them
Mimic anything they do
Just like a mirror.
No, I'm not jealous
Or trying to steal their lover
Nor their shine.

It's just...
They are my dreamcatchers.
They make the reminisce
The fun of the pizza parties.
A bond with me
And my silliness.

Maybe it's not,
What you think it is
But platonic exists!
You know? Just one-sided.
It's okay.
