"Sharing a bed isn’t always about touch — sometimes, it’s simply about presence.
It’s about the unspoken comfort of knowing that the person you love is close enough for you to hear their breath, even in the quiet of the night.
It’s in the small moments — the way your feet find each other beneath the covers, as if they’re drawn by instinct. The way you don’t feel the need to fill the silence with words, because just existing side by side is more than enough.
It’s how they shift in their sleep but still reach out — even unconsciously — just to make sure you’re still there. How your bodies may not always face each other, but your hearts do.
Because love doesn’t always look like entwined limbs or whispered conversations at midnight.
Sometimes, it’s felt in the peaceful stillness between two people who trust each other so deeply that even silence becomes a form of connection.
It’s in the quiet decision to stay.
The choice to remain close, even when your backs are turned.
It’s the invisible thread — soft but unbreakable — that ties your souls together, even when there’s no touch, no words.
That is real intimacy.
Not measured in how tightly you hold each other,
but in how deeply you hold space for one another.
Not in constant contact,
but in unwavering care.
Not in noise,
but in the sacred, shared quiet where love still speaks."~
