How does sex and physical touch
Heal my heart and help so much?
How do we find the closeness to share
Lying there naked, body and soul bare?
Intimacy isn't just sex and raw passion,
It is the closeness we've grown and shown in this fashion.
Holding and sharing and loving and caring,
These are the things that make a good pairing.
