"ARE YOU GOING to pull it?"
he had black hair and eyes hidden behind dark frames and a mouth i wanted to kiss.
i've never kissed
a boy before.
i didn't say anything to him
because i was so afraid
but he seemed
to understand me
in some strange way
because he walked
up to me and while
looking straight into
my eyes
he pulled
the lever
that i
wasn't
able to
pull.
the fire alarm went
off and when he
walked away
i finally realized
that
there was a fire
going on,
a fire in my heart.
—Irene White, on the day where I felt like a lovestruck girl.
