Some Closeness Feels Like Breath

When I’m holding a woman I care about, my inner world feels held, too — and it makes the outer world feel less sharp.
Not because she’s responsible for my calm.
Because good closeness reminds me what I’m made of.
Softness without fear.
Strength without burden.
Steadiness without control.
Vulnerability without fragility.
Warmth without urgency.
Some people feel like noise. Others quiet me.
