It's kind of like being dirty, uncomfortable, with a pain invisible but present, scratching from behind your back.

You can feel it everywhere, from the tip of your toe to the end of your hair.

And as soon as you take a shower, it seems as if time stops. Everything disappears, as if nothing existed before that moment, all the problems, concerns, the pain. Gone. Even if it was just for 10 minutes. Only you between thoughts and intimacy.
