True Intimacy

True Intimacy by Kenny Davis

 

I know what it's like to hold

Don't know what it's like to be held

I know what it's like to burn

But don't know what it's like to melt

 

My heart knows not what it's like to feel protected

Knows not what it's like to feel safe

Knows nothing of what it's like to feel the pleasure of being treasured

In oh so many ways

 

I know nothing of the icy hot shivers

Of her draping her arms across my chest

I know nothing feeling the warmth of her love through the touch of her skin

When she would tighly hold my neck

 

I know not what it's like to hug the luminance of the moon

Once the warm rays of the sunset are down

For that moment in time, when a King holds his Queen

Making him feel blessed to be worthy of his crown

 

Know nothing of what it's like for time to stand still

While getting locked and lost in her eyes

To forget about the past to get lost and swept up in the present

Shifting the very fabric of space and time

 

I know nothing of what it's like to make her feel safe from the world when 
she's held

Should such timeless moments be made to last

"No weapons formed against us shall prosper."

Bringing this very scripture to come to pass

 

My heart only knows of such a feeling

To have yearned and lived for such moments in my dreams

Only to wake up to a world, wale up to a life

Living without it in my reality

 

Looking and searching for that intimacy

Never knowing if I've found it

Never knowing what it feels like to have it

But I've forever known what it's like to live without it
