  1. keep your distance. 

keep in mind that you stumble too often,

you trip over your excitement,

and fall for someone every time. 

 

  1. resist the eyes.

because eyes

are the gateway 

to winning your heart. 

 

  1. never be

the first for anything. 

let them flirt first,

let them initiate all intimacy,

remember you want this

but you don’t need anything. 

 

  1. don’t reply back too quick. 

and sometimes don’t reply back 

at all, to make sure they think

that they are not your priority. 

 

  1. keep in mind 

they don’t care the way you do,

they don’t want you like you want them. 

you are nothing to them

and when they tell you

that you are,

they’re lying. 

 

  1. remember 

to not scare them away.

keep the cap on

the opening of the bottle

of who you are, 

and do not 

under any circumstances 

show your weakness(es). 

 

  1. avoid all scars,

all tears,

all pasts

and all fears,

because they don’t care

and if they act like 

they do,

they’re lying.
