With Benefits


We are both fighting a battle.

Each and every day we gain the strength to not fall in an epiphany of love.

We are afraid, for both of us had to gain our boundaries with a never ending use of ignorance and regret.

Both of us are still lost in a world where we are trying to figure out who we really are, and what purpose we have in the palm of our hands.

Yet we still look at each other as if we are the only two human beings who understand this serendipity.

We don’t know what we are doing, and we don’t know what is going to be the solution of this mess we have created.

But we know that behind every kiss, behind every stare, behind every laugh, hug, hold, worry, comfort, shelter, pleasure, we find an aurora that has no need of a label.

Instead we both have decided to keep (with no use of words or conversation) a secret that holds both our heart’s at risk. 

 

In other words we are friends.
