They say, Never say never,
I guess l now know why
Because, I'd never have thought that
reading could be so addictive.
I found a book today,
and...I've only read the first chapter of her,
I already know I'll want to finish her story,
probably read it again and again,
Until my fingers can effortlessly trace every detail of her pages,
...until I can flawlessly feel every emotion she keeps secret with my eyes closed.
I found a book yesterday, and since I opened it,
like a puzzle, she fits perfectly
with each turn of the page, I want her more.
I'm addicted to her story,
to the way she knows where to look inside of me.
to the feeling of completion when she's close.
I found a book that I can't put down,
and if it's okay with her, I'd like to keep what I've found, as I become a part of her story.
