?? That’s the PROXIMITY?!!

I would very much like to be close with someone I’m going to love... But this is what I’ve been thinking about lately.
We used to think that intimacy is about touch.
But it actually starts much earlier.
From the moment you let someone else look in where you usually don’t let anyone.
True intimacy is not when you are together in the same bed. What do you think about it?
Close when you can be near and not hide your shadows.
When it’s okay to say: «I’m not always sure. Sometimes I hurt. Sometimes I just want someone to understand - without explanation».
This is the risk - to be seen. To approach a person, taking a step.
We can kiss without touching.
We can be naked by staying closed.
But if you dare to show your real «I» - this is the charm.
Oh seriously, it’s very important.
Not for the body. For the whole essence of the person you want to be with.
