clang clang clang went the trolley ding ding ding went the bell zing zing zing went my heartstrings for the moment i saw him i fell chug chug chug went the motor bump bump bump went the brake thump thump thump went my heartstrings when he smiled i could feel the car shake he tipped his hat and took a seat he said he hoped he hadn t stepped upon my feet he asked my name i held my breath i couldn t speak because he scared me half to death buzz buzz buzz went the buzzer plop plop plop went the wheels stop stop stop went my heartstrings as he started to leave i took hold of his sleeve with my hand and as if it were planned he stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine all the way to the end of the line
