Qualifications
I'm afraid of falling
Out of airplanes or off cliffs or into the ocean
High heels make me feel as though I'm tiptoeing on the rings around planets
I cannot promise not to step on your toes

Description
When I say "strong," I don't mean that I need you to sweep me off my feet
At some point, we grew out of the Victorian Era,
Girls aren't ornamental glass paperweights
I will not live in my flower garden
I will work late nights, too

To Apply
The exam starts the instant you walk in the room
No way to cheat, but this time, there may be second chances
Your kisses have to mean something
You have to take decisive steps as we dance
Please comment :)
