mischievous friendship

a platonic love for the ages

By kpPublished 12 months ago 1 min read
me and dom circa 2018

"back when my man was a lil' baby boi,"

her words bring joy to read.

she sends this picture of taut profiles from when we were allowed to

sweat in the presence of people

less than six feet from us.

candidly and platonically,

we have always loved each other deeply.
