We aren't lovers. We just kiss.
We aren't lovers. We just cuddle
We aren't lovers. We just love each other in a completely platonic way.

I lean up on my tiptoes to capture the lips of my best friend. His hands are on my hips and mine are clutching the front of the shirt that he is wearing. The kiss is soft, innocent and tender; just like usual. It only lasts around 30 seconds before I step back, smiling. Our kisses never last any longer than a minute and tongues are never involved. We like it that way, Dan and I. We don't say a thing as I let go of his shirt, moving my hands up to his cheeks, tilting my head to the side to admire his perfections. His dimple is my favourite and as he grins down at me, I move my pinky to poke him, giggling childishly. Dan rolls his eyes at me, moving his hands around my waist and pulling me close against him, leaning up on his own tiptoes so he could rest his head on mine, holding me close. "I love you, Phil" He whispers.
"I love you too, Dan" I smile, leaving a chaste kiss against his neck. Dan moved his hands down to the hem of my tshirt, lightly running the fabric through his fingers. These are my favourite moments. The moments when we just stand so close together, touching briefly, the electricity that runs through me makes me happy, makes me excited. It's the love that I feel for the boy in question that makes me want to stand in his arms forever; to quit the world and just spend the whole of my life with the man I love.

We stand like this for what feels like forever but in fact it only turns out to be 5 minutes. Dan sighs, stepping away and taking his arms away from around me, placing them into the pockets of his jeans. I raise my eyes and nod, biting my lip to hide my disappointment. We have friends due over and they won't understand our relationship. We aren't dating, we're just friends. Friends who kiss; friends who sleep in the same bed; friends who say 'I love you' far too many times to each other in a day.

But that's us. That's how we like it, and things aren't going to change. You don't need to make love to be in love. I'm in love and it's totally platonic.
