Friend; A person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, usually exclusive of sexual relations.

Have you ever been so sure

that we can be friends

without bending the definition

and sending us into a miasma

of conflicting emotions

opening the deep chasm,

 of loneliness, bleak despair

where my life ends

watching the red dawn

for the last time
