Intimacy by Instinct

I realize
the impracticality
of putting you through
my tests and inquisitions.

When it seems you intuitively know
to rub your hands along the small of my back
and brush the strands of hair that fall across my eyes
though I haven't yet mentioned
the idiosyncratic touches I prefer.
