Closeness is not just physical proximity or frequent meetings, but it is the place where someone begins to see and understand you as you really are inside.
He is aware of your desires, longings, dreams, and longings. He can read your goals in life, the causes of joy and sorrow, the sources of peace and tranquility, your perspective, outlook, mindset, and silent fears.
He can also recognize the wounds on your soul that the eye of time has never seen, and he is also aware of the ointments that make your existence come alive again.
He should not be afraid of seeing your darkness, but should have the breadth to understand the background of your emotions and feelings.
When a person becomes familiar with these hidden corners of your being, then understand that he is close to you. This is true closeness. This closeness is born more in silences than in words, and over time it builds a relationship between minds, hearts and souls where trust, understanding and feelings merge into each other.
It is achieved when two souls communicate with each other in the language of reason and emotion, and the layers of their inner selves are revealed one by one.
And perhaps the most beautiful definition of intimacy is when someone slowly lifts the veils of their soul, allowing you to see their inner world; and you accept that world without fear, without judgment, only with love and understanding.
