Not focused on the ending

But focused instead on the pleasure

How good it feels to want

Taking the time to feel safe in our bodies

Moving at a pace that is right for us tonight right now

Free to stop at a moments notice with sweet check ins here and there

Saying nothing doesn't mean anything

Okay doesn't always mean yes

More words before intimacy

More freedom to say what turns you on, what makes me hurt, so many ways to

Feel pleasure feeling sure

That your partner is attentive and present

Because they ask questions and show with their hands that they listened, that they care

And when we mess up we don't make it about the misstep, we focus instead on the dynamic

Every body's needs, never leaving the moment to dwell in self doubt

Swimming instead in what's next, what's now,

Swimming in wants

And fears, fantasies…

What's the scene tonight?

Nothing fancy,

Just right.
