PLATONIC OR FRIENDSHIP

I've never given up says she
Love has no boundaries it's free
It can be mutual he is 10 years
More than her age but what's the fear?

They've been friends since childhood
Had each other's back put up their fronts
Years flowed without stop both matured
Many of life's flops they both endured.

She became a widow he never married
But what's the score shall they be worried
Time may have changed but their hearts stayed
Will there be controlling factors still to face?

He left to work in the city but always returned
She married an outsider hence took her away
In another town had this house well adorned
But felt abandoned living her life in disarray.

If she had stayed her life may be at peace
She'd remember those fond memories
Who'd say both could've been more than friends
Because the hugs the touches were truly meant.

He looked at her like a sister to hang out with
Heart went pitter patter when she gets to plead
He accedes to her requests nothing would matter
Seeing her innocently sweet face repelled his anger.

Now both back home in the village they grew
The best of both worlds for them is simply due
Will a platonic relation push the meaning
Of what their close friendship was while growing.

In their senior ages will romantic love still spring
Her age of 65 he who scores old at 75 in knowing
Their once upon a time caring and loving still lived
Would they find this kind of affection finally thrive?

I am the "Queen of PLatonic Relationships" I've had quite a few guy friends with whom I had mutual feelings with, more than friendship, but, "free to see and watch from afar, or be together in the same room, alone, but no cuchie-cuchie"...

And then, they accused me of just teasing them? Well, I just wasn't up to any commitment, and I did feel {and still do} that I am no good in bed.

i believe love is not always about intimacy or should involve sect, more so for those who have turned more than 60..it would most likely be about companionship..i have heard a story of someone who is 80 plus and having a relationship with someone who is more than seventy..they do not live together but spend most of their times with each other, like having dinner every day or going malling, but each sees to it that he or she goes home to their respective homes..the guy has become supportive of the lady in all matters..but defintely no sect involved..i can understand the situation since faculties would have surely diwndled in their ages..they are happy enough to hold hands and hug with kissing..that's all there is between them..each live in their own senior retirement home. like a studio complete wiht own washroom and kitchen..they are happy just like that..

am a bit surprised though that men in their older ages have still this good virility to boast of their manly power..hence we would see often what we call a may-december relationship..where the gentleman could be twenty years or more senior than the woman..sometimes i like to think that these men would marry because they want someone to take care of them and have this fear of being brought to a home care facility, to be living on their own...but for the ladies, marriage of this kind would always support a financial benefit or purpose on their part, specially, that they have a direct family to feed at home and the man's monthly take could be an answer to that need..

my take on the matter would be more on companionship if i take someone very much older than me (not anyone younger than me please)...living with your children, once you've become dependent on them is difficult i must admit..although am sure they will not put me in a nursing facility..somehow the need to be doing activities, like going to the mall or supermarket, maybe dining out once in a while or having a spa, would certainly give a better feeling to be doing them with someone you are compatible with and has the same maturity as you are..

My young comadre just became a widow a couple of months back. She is her mid 40's while her late husband passed on at age 86. She was the 3rd wife. He was twice a widower, and eventually, he left a young widow with whom he had two kids ages 13 years old son, and 10 year old daughter. He had two children from the first wife, and another son from the second wife.

If ever, Jane, I would like to just a have a very good constant companion, and as much as possible, I would like for us to live in a duplex, we each live separately, but close enough.

hahaha..that's a good suggestion to take on..i was thinking on having these separate rooms because sleeping on the same bed would now be very uncomfortable for me..been used to sleeping alone for decades.i t would be a great adjustment, if ever..but am sure the sought after companion would have words to complain..what's the point of having a platonic relationship if that were the case...a companion would mean someone near and always in his presence, a point to argue..lol

difficult when love can be blind, others would see that it's about security not true love..

Why not? Nothing to lose. At certain age, Love or friendship, means no difference anymore. Only that someone to share something with. At the end of the day, someone to share stories and help you through the night. Even he can sleep in the couch..

that is a good point of view..something to share, could be memories, moments that get precious, like eating in your fave diner, visiting a place together, even this someone who will shoulder the expenses incurred, just to have a good time..doesn't mean you need to go to bed right? for the company for the times together, for the good memories to share...[/sine]
