Intimacy

INTIMACY IS NOT ALL ABOUT 
SEX. 
   IT’S NOT SINGULAR, IT’S MULTI 
AND COMPLEX. 

   IT’S THAT LONG LOOK IN EACH 
OTHER EYES. 
   IT’S THAT PLACE OF ACCEPTANCE AND 
COMPROMISE. 

   IT’S ALL THE LAUGHTER YOU 
SHARE. 
   IT’S KNOWING THAT SOMEONE 
CARES. 

   IT’S THE WARM BODY ON A COLD 
NIGHT. 
   IT’S THE WAY SHE SAYS EVERYTHING 
IS ALRIGHT. 

   IT’S THE TOUCH OF HER HAND IN 
YOURS. 
   IT’S THE WAY YOUR HEART TAKES OFF 
AND SOARS. 

   IT’S THOSE UP ALL NIGHT LONG 
TALKS. 
   IT’S HAND IN HAND ON THOSE LONG 
WALKS. 

   IT’S BREAKFAST IN BED ON SUNDAY 
MORNING. 
   IT’S THAT SENSE OF 
BELONGING. 

   IT’S HER SMILE THAT LIGHTS UP THE 
ROOM. 
   IT’S THE SCENT OF HER FAVORITE 
PERFUME. 

   IT’S THAT EXCITEMENT ON HER  
FACE. 
   IT’S KNOWING YOUR HEART IS IN THE 
RIGHT PLACE.
