Sonnet

We really liked each other,

so it seemed quite natural
to take our clothes off and be naked together,
so that we could make love to each other
with our eyes, just letting our feet touch
a little on the couch as we talked or read
or did our homework together.
Sometimes our caresses would become intense—
we’d stroke each other’s limbs,
lip each other’s nipples,
entwine our legs and kiss—
but when our genitals got into the act,
it would be over too fast,
and we’d have to get dressed.
