Intimacy

"The opposite of loneliness, it's not
togetherness. It is intimacy." 
                                       - Richard Bach
 
A warm glance. A familiar smile. Laughter.
 
To talk. To share. Communicate.
 
Faith. Mutual values. 
 
Holding hands. A kiss.
 
Depth. Compassion. Understanding.
 
To share your completion.
 
Intellectual intimacy. Emotionally connected.
 
Passion. Companions.
 
An authentic bond.
 
To be individual, yet together.

To know and be known.
 
Belonging together.
 
Friends.
 
Intimacy.
 
“They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which
they never recovered.”  
                                                     - F. Scott Fitzgerald
