Platonic love is wild

It’s wild how pure and wholesome platonic love is while also having a chaotic and passionate side to it. Like the way you admire your friend is so innocent but the ties of loyalty make you fierce when it comes to defending them. Also, we tend to view our friends as beautiful. They are much more beautiful to us than anyone we have had romantic interest in, but not in a way that makes us physically attracted to them. It just makes us admire them and want to protect them. Also the best part about platonic love is that it doesn’t hurt, it feels secure. Sure there is a chance you may lose the friendship, but you don’t dread losing the friendship every day. You just enjoy it in the present instead of worrying about the future. It doesn’t make you live in fear. Also if the friendship does come to an end, it’s a bit easier to move on than a heartbreak. At least if the reasons were communicated clearly. Also unlike romantic love where the best part about the other person are the thoughts and fantasies you have about them, the best part about platonic love is when you actually spend time with them right in front of you, not in your mind! Also I feel like all love causes pain, not because all love is toxic and unhealthy but because the intensity of the feeling causes pain (like something intensely pleasurable also feels kinda painful just cause of how intense it is you know. Like reading a beautiful poem or seeing a painting so gorgeous it brings you to tears). But with platonic love, the intense painful/pleasurable moments occur when you’re actually with them and they do something cute or wholesome for you or they say something cool and based. Or when you feel a surge of protective feelings for them. With romantic love, the pain is more constant and you just can’t shake it off so it becomes a permanent state of suffering. Well at least this is all true for me, idk about y’all.
