Answer 1

you clung to him like love in valentine air

you clung to him like a small child after having a scare

you clung to him like boy taking on a dare

LOL i dont know..im not good :P

Answer 2

Just being the "grammar police" here hun, but a simile is a comparison using LIKE or AS, and an analogy is a more shrouded type of comparison bordering on a metaphor.  You are loooking for a simile.

but anyways,

I clung to him like I was a clingon from Star Trek.

I clung to him as if I were a baby chimp on my mother's back.

I clung to him like he was my last dollar.

I clung to him like I had sticky fingers.

I clung to him like syran wrap( been said already)

Answer 3

Reynold's Wrap on a bowl of potato salad!

Polyester on my grandma's thighs!

Answer 4

I clung to him like glue......flypaper.....tape......ivy.......

Those things that stick to glass are static clings; not very poetic.

Answer 5

Are they static clings?  I thought she was talking about suction cups.

How about like a barnacle? :)  Those actually cling as opposed to just sticking to something.  Like one of Harlow's monkeys to a cloth mother.

Answer 6

clung to him like a plastic snowflake on a young mother's window

clung to him like he was an oxygen mask and i was in a plane going down fast

clung to him like he was the last man on earth

clung to him like  a girl who'd rather do anything than breathe her own air, even for a second

Answer 7

gum stuck to your shoe

Answer 8

like sweat on skin

like a selfish child
