I am not the girl you win over
by calling 47 times when I said
I’m not interested in a date,

I am not the girl you catch by
chasing around when I told you
I am running towards a future
that has nothing to do with you,

because I am the woman who
means it when she says no,

and I’m not playing hard to get,
I’m being honest when I say that
I can keep myself warm at night
until I find someone who thrills
me with a single touch, and
you are not that person.
