I denied the temptress,
Skipped out on dessert,
Resisted the urge to nap after work;
I said "no" to a friend who
Wanted to get a beer,
Turned away from my lover
When she began to whisper in my ear,
Just so I could be here now,
To tell you that you too
Should wait, keep yourself apart
From what you don't need,
If only long enough to simply breathe,
Or write a poem.
