nr i like how you pull me close and rest your head on mine. i like how we talk about silly things. i liked softly cuddling with you in the morning, even if i wasn't quite awake (plight of the night person). i used to have myself convinced i was better at certain things alone, so i like finding out that's not necessarily the case. 151215

just me the sex is some of the best i've had. it's either super passionate and urgent and hot, with fierce makeouts and soft scratching and full-body touching, or it's intimate and nice, with lots of soft kissing and arms around each other and hair-stroking. and often it's all of the above. and then we cuddle and talk and joke for hours in bed.

i don't quite understand how this level of intimacy can happen for a person whose brain still can't let themselves completely commit.

this is the hardest thing to let go of should it ever be necessary.

unhinged (i am still afraid i don't know what this means; i have spent the past four years with a dazzling lack of it, specially emotional intimacy.)

Even as child it was foreign and awkward

Sexually_challenged

But always ON


But intimacy isn't just sex
Sex is just sex
Intimacy is the static between
It is what we make it
It's missing your grandmother's cheek
Rubbing your dog's belly and kissing their stinky paws
Making eye contact with someone looking down
Falling asleep and dreaming next to someone
A leaf from a tree falls into your lap
Rain on your skin
Sun warming your hair even after dark it lingers
A child grips your hand, trusting
We're just passing through this land
Intimacy is knowing we are all the same shit really... and letting that be enough

Soma I lay in my bed on the other side of the house
yet am closer to you than
all those nights between shared sheets
worried about how we perceived the other
this distance is closer than kissing or bodies or sex
this closeness is comfortable warmth
enveloping security in the knowledge of our hearts

I am closed eyes reveling in the familiar comfort
of knowing your every noise
memorizing every step on the floor above my bed
and when the sun rises and the new day dawns
I am watching you shave your legs
thinking of how you will draw your delicate socks on
to brighten the shadows of hurt inside you
At times I catch you watching me, too

I am snow-day sitting next to you but not touching
listening as I rest my eyes
I am closer than I've ever been
Our bodies don't come between us
For all the intimate things
Were never really about bodies at all
