When I Look At You

Intimacy is trust Intimacy is comfort When I look at you I see these things in me I see you in me I want you to see me in you When I look at you I feel your comfort I feel your trust Trust doesn’t need to ask It embraces instead When I look at you I embrace with pleasure Your soul, your body, your love I look to love (©nov 6th 2014)

How odd... I read this again and was astounded. I went to comment and realized I already had. These words make me weep, make me feel again what I used to have.

WOW, I'm glad I could make you feel something but sad that you feel the loss.
