I want emotional intimacy
Not just physical intimacy
Because the latter comes easily with us
I want you shirtless
And me in nothing but your shirt
While we lay in bed together
Under the warm covers
Talking about nothing and everything in between
Exploring trivial and philosophical topics
Playing thumb wars
And that one smacking-hands game
Twenty questions
Two truths and a lie
Drawing on each other’s body
Only to guess what the other wrote
Doing nothing but simply staring
Into each other’s eyes
Listening to each unspoken truth in them
Appreciating the gentle rise and fall
Of each other’s chest
As a constant reminder for the life we have
For the life we have together
Savoring the simplicity of the moment
Where *** isn’t the end goal
But emotional intimacy is
