Intimacy
Intimacy is not always about taking your clothes off,
It is about undressing without needing to show your body.
Some people undress in a café, without make-up,
with eyes smudged with mascara, without red lingerie.
It is about laughing without being afraid of embarrassment.
Intimacy is not about sex,
It is sharing fears and insecurities,
It is exposing weaknesses without feeling incapable,
It is sharing achievements and also sacrifices,
It is being certain that happiness will be doubled if it is shared.
Intimacy is about bringing a coffee at 11 o'clock at night,
while the other chases dreams,
Intimacy is loving on a Monday at 8am
with the same intensity as on a Friday at 8pm.
Intimacy is moments of complicity, it is being, not "doing".
