Make me no promises.
If there aren’t any promises,
then nothing’s ever broken.

Swear to me nothing.
If there aren’t any oaths,
there are never any curses.

Grant me no wishes.
If there aren’t any lamps,
my genie never disappears.
Never excite me.
If there aren’t any rushes,
there are never any mistakes.

Attempt nothing on my behalf.
If you don’t attempt,
I’ll never experience disappointment.

Give me no comfort.
If arms never encircle me,
arms will never let me go.

Play no games with me.
If no games are played,
I’ll never lose.

Pick the petal “Loves me not.”
If I don’t fall in love,
I’ll cry no tears at night.
