Mental Intimacy

The mind is a peculiar place

It's the true face behind the mask 

Beyond the disguise we wear every day

It's where my real thoughts stay

Ones that are out of range for most

Inexperienced with getting serious

Because sharing them feels strange

It's an unnatural exchange 

So instead I become mysterious

A question people want to answer

But that will end with a disaster

Because there is no explanation

Only an interpretation of my contemplation

And my belief that in isolation I find my salvation

A confrontation leading to the realization

This is a complication for any type of relation

Yet it remains my twisted dedication

So imagine my reaction during our conversation

When I did what I thought I'd never do

To my surprise I opened up to you

The moment felt so pure

Yet I was vulnerable and insecure

Nothing I could hide behind anymore

Something I never thought I longed for

You broke down the walls I had build

Filled a void I was unaware I had

To have some company in my solitude

Was never something I valued

But I'm glad I didn't resist this plot twist

Because suddenly I had something I never missed

Going into someone's mind is mind blowing

To find things they are afraid of showing

I used to view this as a threat

But you provided the possibility

To show the path I walk along

Assured me there's no need for an apology

Even when my steps don't make sense

Even when the direction I take seems wrong

And when I revealed everything but perfection

There was no rejection only sincere affection

Leading to a deeper kind of connection

So I don't have a single regret

About sharing everything within me

For letting you see from what I flee

Despite the fact you might not agree

With the way I live my reality

We created our own peaceful oasis

Where physical contact was not the basis

Instead you touched me with your eyes

Made my soul feel every word you said

In my head I thought that this kind of intimacy

Makes you love someone unconditionally 

Because it goes beyond something physically

To understand me is hard but you try

Even when it's easier to just say goodbye

It's my screwed up thoughts you still pursued

And for this you'll always have my gratitude
