intimacy

intimacy

We rose up slowly
As if
We didn´t belong to the outside world
Any more
like swimmers in the shadowy dream
we didn´t need to breethe

Hi there,
Your title drew me in and I think you've captured the idea of intimacy. I do have a change to suggest to give it a better flow. After reading it out loud cos that helps me at times get a handle on things heres what I'm thinking:

We rose up slowly
No longer a part of the outside world
Like swimmers in the shadowy dream
We held on till we caught a breath

It's just a thought and if you don't agree I totally understand!
Bets wishes,

val
