things could have been different

i wish the first time i was naked with a man
had been a moment filled with so much more tenderness
and patience
i wish undressing had taken longer, like a game of strip poker
for everything i learnt about you, a piece of clothing would come off
i wish you had taken time to explore my body
and let me take my time with yours

instead it was all so quick,
the closing of a door, the taking off of clothes
your tongue pushing past my lips, hands between my legs
consent asked for, consent given
sighs and moans
like two actors playing a scene in front of a camera
