Intimacy Defined

When all the crash boom fireworks
Have played their course
What remains are the intimate moments
That define a relationship

A certain look across the room
Finishing thoughts before they are spoken
Doing things for each other that you'd rather not
But doing them anyway, because it's for you

Sharing the load of mundane chores
Snuggling close in bed making things hot
Putting on the AC to cool the heat
Intimacy, love, thrilling times to repeat
