I first met Intimacy several years ago.
At first,
         she seemed shy and very quiet
But as I got to know her better,
          she shared many things with me.
We would spend days talking about our lives
                                                        our dreams
                                                        our hopes
                                                        our fears

Then late one night, I got a phone call
And Intimacy told me the one secret
           she had not told me in our talks
She told me of the child she never had.
It was then that I felt that Intimacy and I were one
           For she had shared with me her essence.

Intimacy and I don't talk much anymore.
But I still remember everything she taught me.
Because of her,
               my new lover and I are closer than two people could ever be.

Sometimes,
          I wonder where she is
And I know that wherever she is,

                                                 that she's in love.

Unique thoughts...we should consider talking more openly with Intimacy when we have those opportunities - we could learn a lot from her...

If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ

Very important, to talk with intimacy as often as we can. But what if she won't hear us?
Great poem
