When you don't have to search for the "right" words, when you're not judged, but simply accepted. It's a rare feeling, and perhaps that's why it's so valuable.

I think true intimacy begins with trust. With small steps toward each other, with a sincerity that can't be faked.

Sometimes people can talk every day and still remain strangers. And sometimes, one honest confession brings them closer than years of communication.

I like the idea that intimacy isn't a goal, but a process. Quiet, gradual, but very profound.

And perhaps most importantly, it's a person with whom you want to continue this process.
