[daydreams of exaggerated feelings]
the young adolescents
i can tell you
exactly
how our fire sparked
we were attracted
attracted so deeply in each other's hair
and smiles
and eyes
and teeth
and fingers
and yet on the inside we were broken
in many pieces
we were attracted to those parts of each other too
a tv show i watched once said
"don't you think she's attracted to damaged people?"
we were both the damaged person
and
the "she" attracted to the damaged people
and when we fell in love
we were afraid
because as damaged people, that's what love was
associated with
fear
we were afraid to love
because of each other
and because of ourselves
i was afraid to be attracted to her
and she was afraid to be attracted to me
and so when we pushed the fear
our spark caught so quick
like a child afraid to light a match
but once the match caught
it became a forest fire
our fear caught fire
and soon we were burning red love
our fear turned to love
and the love turned to fire
