Just Friends

So we will be friends.
Meet in a coffee shop
wind back time in bittersweet gulps
to a few platonic hours
years ago

So we will be friends.
No longer worry about watches
abandoned on hotel bedstands
silently noting the minutes
of events

Friends.
No need to berate our terrible
timing, time zones
or even nap time.

Friend.
When we do meet
I will try, I promise
not to worry about which panties I wear.
