Walking Lyrically

Walking lyrically, I happened upon a list of a stranger's aspirations.
And thought how I'd make making love to you the last of my own.

And you'd be on the list last because I want you to think I want you.
But I want to continue quietly telling myself "I'll be sure to abstain"

without necessarily thinking it the truth, the godawful truth. I
never want to see you again (but, of course, I will).
