Finding Intimacy in the Ordinary

Intimacy isn’t always explicitly stated; it exists subtly in the mundane moments.

Love really is about the little things,
quietly hidden in the ordinary

It’s not just about knowing someone’s
dreams, desires, traumas, fears
or where they see themselves in five years

But it lies in the moments spent in between
in the randomness of days

To know the tiny details of someone’s day
what did the annoying co-worker say this time?
did they skip their meal again?
when you know where they will be at 8 PM
‘Landed’ flashes only on your mobile screen
sent straight from the runway

Love really is hidden
somewhere between the giggles
exchanged over the phone call at the end of the day

Don’t let the world fool you
that it’s complicated
when it really is as simple as the question:

“How was your day?”
