Explosively Loving

we aren’t like other people
me & you
the boxes that society
so adores
explode at the very thought of us

we will never be lovers
we will never be just friends
we will never be “just” anything

i could say
“you’re like a sibling to me”
but that would be
one more lie to add to the list

you will never love me more than her
but you will never stop loving me
even the words “best friend”
fall short

so we will keep on
keeping on
exploding boxes
we will love
and never know why
