Intimacy

the trust
the comfort
blurred line
between
the you
the me

the invitation
unspoken 
implied
a nudge
a smile
a touch
acknowledged
proximity
the attraction
the closeness
mutual devotion
intimate
inseparable
a harmony uncommon

Your poem brings a hearty human-ness to intimacy, Line, which is what it is all about.

This is cleverly written Line. I can visualise a series of photographs of two people who are very intimate! You can see the camera rolling till the last frame!

Line, Your poem lines are effective and touching. The very essence of what it is to be human. When friends exchange tickets for an upgrade to the sublime. -Richard
