I'd like to fuck you in the dark

For a long time,
I only wanted to fuck you with the light on.
I like to look at your face,
Your eyes, your arms.
I am in love with the way you bite your lip when trying not to call out.
I am in love with the freckles starring constellations across your shoulders.

A few weeks ago, you asked to fuck me in the dark.
You told me you like to feel me.
At the time I didn't understand what you meant.

But tonight
Tonight I lead a dozen school children in a night hike
Tonight every detail of every tree popped out at me.
Tonight the stars of the milky way were pinpoints of sensation across my skin
And I think I understood
Why you'd like to fuck in the dark.
