The Garden of Eden.

Girls

like apples
are at the top of the tree.  

The boys don't want to reach

for the good ones because they

 are afraid of falling and getting hurt. 

Instead, they just get the rotten apples 

from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, 

when in reality, they're amazing. 


They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, 
the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top

of the tree.
