your touch is electric
a lightning strike against my skin
do it again and again and again and again
a new kiss every time
because lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

step one:
start out with a metaphor.
compare them to the sun or the wind or lightning

step two:
declare your love
underline it
make it bold and bright and loud

step three:
compare their features to other things
something like
your eyes are __ like the __

step four:
crumple it up
throw it away

my fingers can't stop trembling
my mouth is so dry
i can't button this shirt
and i'm starting to cry

I.
no matter where you go and
no matter who you meet
someone will be better than you at something
but please don't let that discourage you
you'll be better than someone at something else

II.
there will always be a give and take
put out good things
get them back
you must give respect to get respect

III.
be proud of the things that you do
learn to praise yourself
for your accomplishments

IV.
look at your mistakes
but don't dwell on them
use them to your advantage
but don't hold onto them

V.
listen to your gut
it's probably right

VI.
if your gut is wrong
listen to your mother
she's always right
