As revealed in Correspondence 11/5/10 20:08 - 11/10/10 16:18, Cailin and I are platonic lovers. Wooo. Steamy. Why do they call it Platonic love? Why is it named after Plato? Haven't these people ever read Symposium? But, no, it's not about that one. Other platonic ideals. Reality is like unto a shadow, and the ideal would be to reject the manifestations and strive toward the ideas behind them.
That's why it's called Platonic love. It's love, but without hugging and kissing (which is why the TV Tropes page on platonic love is called No Hugging, No Kissing- it's Writer Speak.) It's in the realm of ideas, like Plato said. Platonic ideals, meaning there's no outward manifestation of this love like hugging and kissing would be.
