.
the cards suggest that willpower isn't working.
that self-restraint alone can't control
this forceful desire lurking
under the surface of my timid soul.

i know the cards are right,
but next time our eyes meet
it will be easy and light
our gaze simple and sweet,

'cause i'm doubling my efforts now.
that means i'm not going to call you
and i might just figure out how
to stop thinking of you too.

i'm gonna cripple
my desire so
cruelly
that it's
crashing wave
shrinks and fades
to nothing
but a ripple
