Come to think of it, I was reading the other day that sleeping with someone - really sleeping, not the euphemism - was one of the most intimate things you can do with another person. That it required a huge amount of trust and vulnerability.
Maybe closing eyes isn't so much a shutting down of communication as a lowering of barriers and defenses to be completely vulnerable. To be totally open and aware of the other person in the rawest way. Open eyes can mean vigilance and a scanning for danger.
But I suppose it depends a lot on how different people feel when they close their eyes - and more particularly when they close their eyes with any given person.
