True Intimacy
True Intimacy by Kenny Davis
I know what it's like to hold
Don't know what it's like to be held
I know what it's like to burn
But don't know what it's like to melt
My heart knows not what it's like to feel protected
Knows not what it's like to feel safe
Knows nothing of what it's like to feel the pleasure of being treasured
In oh so many ways
I know nothing of the icy hot shivers
Of her draping her arms across my chest
I know nothing feeling the warmth of her love through the touch of her skin
When she would tighly hold my neck
I know not what it's like to hug the luminance of the moon
Once the warm rays of the sunset are down
For that moment in time, when a King holds his Queen
Making him feel blessed to be worthy of his crown
Know nothing of what it's like for time to stand still
While getting locked and lost in her eyes
To forget about the past to get lost and swept up in the present
Shifting the very fabric of space and time
I know nothing of what it's like to make her feel safe from the world when
she's held
Should such timeless moments be made to last
"No weapons formed against us shall prosper."
Bringing this very scripture to come to pass
My heart only knows of such a feeling
To have yearned and lived for such moments in my dreams
Only to wake up to a world, wale up to a life
Living without it in my reality
Looking and searching for that intimacy
Never knowing if I've found it
Never knowing what it feels like to have it
But I've forever known what it's like to live without it
