&quot;Some say the world will end in fire,<br /> Some say in ice.<br /> From what I&#039;ve tasted of desire<br /> I hold with those who favor fire.<br /> But if it had to perish twice,<br /> I think I know enough of hate<br /> To say that for destruction ice<br /> Is also great<br /> And would suffice.&quot;

Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don&#039;t want to reach for the good ones because they&#039;re afraid that they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren&#039;t as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think that something is wrong with them, when in reality, they&#039;re amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who&#039;s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
