The answer is it captures their unity.

The final lines are:

so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand

so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close

The closing remarks show the unity between the speaker and his beloved. It depicts the love in physically impossible way that they switch the body parts. There is also anaphora used as a literary device in the beginning of the lines using the phrases "so intimate".
