Intimacy......What is it?

Webster's dictionary defines the word (Intimate) as belonging to or characterizing some one's deepest nature, or a warm personal and private nature. But what does it mean to me? I've asked myself that for a while and I think I have finally found my answer. Intimacy is knowing me in and out, being so connected that its almost like you can read my heart and mind. Even when I walk around with you a smile you know that under it there are uncried tears and unspoken words....and because you are who you are and we are so emotionally and spiritually intertwined I don't ever have to speak them and you know what to do to comfort me. We are seen by others as one, never to under mind who we are as individuals, but to enhance our strengths and minimize our flaws. I believe that intimacy is not limited to a relationship between lovers but that a intimate relationship can be held by parents and their children, siblings, and friends. To be honest the most intimate relationship I have ever had is between my daughter {McKenzie Ariel Brown} and I. Even before she could talk she knew what was wrong with me and had her own little way to say "mommy, its okay". I hope that one day i will meet someone who i am willing to let into my life and heart and to achieve that special kind of intimacy that makes sparks fly and missiles launch! lol. But if I never do at least I can say I knew what intimacy felt like and it was well worth all the wait!
