No more boys, I said to myself as he walked in the room
No more boys.
No more boys, I said, when my heart skipped a beat
No more boys.
No more boys, I whispered under my breath as our eyes met for a moment.
No more boys.
No more boys, my head desperately told my heart when he spoke my name.
No more boys.
No more boys, I wanted to write on my hand as his touched mine.
No more boys.
No more boys! I screamed into my pillow as his face crossed my mind one to many times before bed.
No more boys.
No more boys, was the second thought of the morning, him being the first.
No more boys.
No… no way, I finally surrendered as he winked at me in the hallway.
No way.
