Intimacy

Intimacy
In-tih-mah-see
In-to-me-see
See-in-to-me
Intimacy is to see in to me
It is to let 
and allow 
someone to see you 
for who you are
to know 
whats real

I found her 
She found me 
when we weren’t looking 
It’s not that I was waiting
for the kind of love…
That meets me fully
not halfway
not in pieces
But reaches me whole
not in parts
not in shadows
That shows up
listens
appreciates 
and values my heart

For love is a choice 
we make every single day

Through intimacy 

It’s having someone 
who holds me 
without flinching
who makes space 
for everything I am 
without judgment or fear

We are learning 
to carry others weight
hold each other 
safely and without hesitation
For that is when 
we can let ourselves
be everything
