Intimacy

I'm glad I could be helpful.
I always hope my words reach someone else.
It means a lot to know so.

I'm just putting it into words myself.
Imagine finding yourself
more capable of intimacy than you think,
than you fear.

Now realize I wasn't afraid of intimacy, I was afraid
of losing myself.
They are two different things.

Intimacy is two
people sharing themselves with each other.
Intimacy is only
between "whole people."

Now realize I can be intimate, have a relationship.
I have myself.

Now realize I have uncovered, discovered, recovered
enough to feel safe
enough to reveal
myself to someone else.

I hope that makes sense.
Otherwise, it's not intimacy.
Make the decision. Ask someone.
Tell me you take the risk of getting intimate.

Now realize it is good for you.
