From what I gather from this piece
two people are not meant to be lovers
but have great potential to become best
friends
Enjoyed reading 5/5

You're beginning to write epics, Yaki. The long, detailed pieces suite you perfectly!

I thought of all those times,
we made love without ever touching
each other. how I would hold
your hand and caress your fingertips
for half of the night, and then wake
to your beautiful face, stuck half in the
air and half in the sheets

^This was absolutely beautiful. Omg Im so jealous of your wording here that I wish I would have wrote it myself!

this morning, I understood
that some friendships were never meant
to be ruined with romance..
that it could stroke its cheeks once
in a while, give it a tender kiss on the
shoulder, but never lust after it

^ What an incredible way of saying "dont date your friends"...just pure brilliance here.

.I finally accepted,
that It was wrong of me to try
to make imperfect lovers out of us

when all along, we had the
potential to be the perfect friends..

^ This is really sad...mostly for me....I did this once..had an incredible friend...tried making us more..he wanted us to be more, and it all failed, now its awkward when we see each other , but we are awesome friends...it sucks so bad!! but...life goes on, the memories remain, but the pain lessens.

Incredible write Yaki..seriously youre amazing!

This is incredible Yaki.....I don't know how I haven't read this before. But it wasn't what I expected....I loved the twists, the images, and then the realization that came with this story. At first I was picturing two lovers but then you said making love without touching each other, and I thought maybe a friendship would be the right fit then. I love how you worded this, it was so wise and maturer than a lot of things I hear or read. But it was inspiring too- like all of your work :)
Definitely a thoughtful poem, a life lesson about friendship and love both, be happy if you can have that perfect friend and try to move on from the pain of knowing you can't be more, or if you were, that it would be forced.

A lot of wisdom here, really eye-opening words.
Enjoyed reading lots!
