Saving Myself Poem by Liz Hope

You will not touch above the knee and below the waist.
You will not touch above the stomach and below the shoulder.
You will not touch any bare skin that I do not usually show.

I will not flirt incessently with you.
I will not allow myself to forget myself.
I will wear a ring on my left ring finger to remind us both of that.

We will not go to second base.
We will not do anything we would not do in front of our mothers.
We will not have sex.

I'm saving my self for the man I marry.
You will not pressure me to do anything.
