STORY STARTER

Submitted by Eliana

Write a short story or poem about a platonic relationship.

Think about how platonic love differs from other kinds of love.

I Don’t Recognize

Who are you?

I’ve known you since we were seven

and yet I don’t know you anymore


Who are you?

I feel like it’s my fault

that I don’t know anything

about your life anymore

Maybe I’ve not put enough effort


Who are you?

I graduated from college

and you didn’t say anything

There was a time

we celebrated every victory

big or small

Where did that go?


Who are you?

Just tell me what I did

I’ll fix it

You just have to text

and I’ll pick up the phone


Who are you?

I want to know

Because this:

not calling

not talking

not laughing

not joking

not ranting

not anything

This isn’t you


It hurts I don’t know

who you are
