O Lord, may the outcome of this closeness and intimacy be safe and good; she certainly had a connection with me, but never to this degree.

The poet finds himself in a delicate mix of wonder and quiet anxiety, praying that this sudden, overwhelming closeness with the beloved leads to good. While there was always an affection between them, it was never this deep or tender before, and that unexpected warmth feels almost too sweet to last. It beautifully captures that familiar human vulnerability where immense happiness brings with it an unspoken fear of heartbreak.
