Intimacy

Intimacy is choosing someone, in the world full of people.

Intimacy is choosing someone
when many ask for your attention.

It is thinking of them,
even in your busiest moments.

Intimacy is the longing
for someone’s presence,
the hollow ache of their absence.

It is replaying old conversations,
the lingering,
the longing.

Intimacy is choosing
to let someone wander through your mind,
to let them move softly
through your inner world.

It is giving someone
a quiet space within you.

Intimacy is letting memory
play its tender trick—
turning small moments
into scenes
from the movie of the heart.

Intimacy is a quiet message,
where even the simplest “hello”
carries the weight
of everything felt,
and everything unspoken.

Sometimes,

when I look at you,

sitting across from me,

talking,

laughing,

with me.

I feel incredibly thankful,

that you like me enough,

to share,

your existence,

with me.

I hope you find someone who looks forward to missing you,

every day.

Because what a gift it is,

to be in each other’s journey,

even in absence,

across distance,

through disagreements,

Intimacy,

is allowing your heart to speak,

the language,

of Love.

Hello, actually

I miss you.
