In this excerpt from Sonnet 29 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, which lines express intimacy?

I think of thee!-my thoughts do twine and bud

About thee, as wild vines, about a tree,

Put out broad leaves, and soon there's nought to see

Except the straggling green which hides the wood.

Yet, O my palm-tree, be it understood

I will not have my thoughts instead of thee

Who art dearer, better! Rather, instantly

Renew thy presence; as a strong tree should,

Rustle thy boughs and set thy trunk all bare,

    The answer is most likely the initial passage, "my thoughts do twine and bud About thee, as wild vines, about a tree." This is a simile comparing her thoughts constantly thinking about another person and all the possibilities of being with this person to a vine wrapping itself endlessly around a tree.
