if the reader
falls in love with the character of a book,
their love can be eternal.

he can over and over re-read
each part of his beloved.
he can just stop for a while
and gently touch the mirage.
he can even ****** a piece
and carry it for a lifetime.

but what happens
if the character
falls in love with the reader?

millions of breaths away from you,
i can only wish they were miles
that i could easily overcome
and finally reach you
and suffocate you with my tenderness
that i never showed
when the distance between us was nothing
but a physical outline.
