I think sleep is more intimate than sex. Because it is when you're at your most vulnerable. It says you trust me not to harm you. It says you trust me to watch your most natural movements, uncontrolled by the conscious part of your brain that says 'hunch your shoulders, you're too tall' or 'the right side is your good side'. I think sleep is when I feel closest to you, because in sleep we cannot harm each other, and as we lay across from each other, I can see our secrets meeting like lovers in the air we breathe.
Intimacy
