Squishes: 100% Platónico

Squish. Slang for

Platonic crush.

Intense feelings. Platonic admiration.

No romántico, ni sexual.

Welcome to asexual, aromantic life.

Asexual attraction means

You're special to me.

Besties. Bromance for the ages.

Non-sexual. Non-romantic.

All the butterflies.

Feelings of infatuation? Yes,

But don't want to date.

Emotional relationship? Yes,

But don't want to date.

All I want, All I feel,

Genuine emotional bonds.

"No sexual attraction?

Is that even possible?"

"No te creo.”

“Are 'squishes' merely denial?"

I say, "Why does gender matter?"

Different for everyone. Yet,

Why not enjoy both?

Fall in love romantically and

Bond platonically with your squish.

Los romances vienen y se van,

Squishes stay steadfast for life.

Mi squish me quiere. 

Yo quiero a mi squish.

My squish needs a helping hand,

I show up! Support my squish.

My squish asks for advice,

I wish them paz. "¡Pobre squish!

My squish chats about her day,

I listen, encouraging my squish.

My squish wants a hug,

I hold them, soothing my poor squish.

My squish is feeling lonely,

I text her, "¡Ya llegué!"

My squish argued with his partner,

I tell him, "Apologize to her."

My squish is actually just

A trustworthy close friend.

Squishes are platónico,

Platonic is for life.

¿Quiéres ser mi squish?
