thinking about a form of intimacy that is just leaning someone's head on another shoulder and about trusting them enough and saying "here. here i am imperfect and tired and i trust you enough to hold me." thinking about walking through a crowded bus and moving into a stranger and brushing your hand against their's and whispering "here. i don't know you but i trust you enough to know you won't hurt me." thinking about leaning against someone and bumping bracketing fingers into their face and mumbling "here. i trust you enough to move clumsy lines and etch love into spaces across your features because i trust you enough to know you love me." thinking about love as a lingering trust.
