I fall too fast and feel too much. Laughs bellow
when I'm tickled. Sweat drips when I'm on my bike. Sighs and swoons come easily if you are the one. You don't need a hammer and a vise to get into my heart. I believe there is goodness in all people. There's nothing that I won't try twice. I was never bored because I was never being boring. I walk where angels fear to tread. I always stick up for my friends even if they're wrong. I say what I mean and do what I say.

Someone who can get me out of a third-world prison.
Someone who will give the tree a shake so the fruit will fall.
Someone who will break some eggs to make an omlette.
Someone who will make a spark to start a fire. Someone who is not afraid to get hurt. An open-minded risk-taker.
