Platonic love

Platonic love is a kind of love that is not about being romantic or having a special relationship with someone. It is about feeling close to someone, caring and being kind to them, and enjoying spending time with them without any romantic feelings. Thinking about platonic love is like thinking about the love we can have for a friend or family member. It's just a kind, warm feeling or connection we can have with someone and it doesn't involve any romantic feelings.
