Intimacy

It's not the entwining of bodies,

But the meeting of minds;

Not the mingling of sweat,

But the exchanging of thoughts.

Not the greedy look of lust,

Or sigh of pleasure as we thrust ourselves together...

But the simple 'How are you?'

And the knowledge that

It really matters.

Anyone can share a bed - that's the easy part.

Intimacy?

Oh! - that isn't for the faint of heart...
