I thought we were on the same page, Turns out we weren't even in the same book Reading a classic romance, I stumbled across you and thought that this was it While you only wanted to finish and restart your little Bildungsroman The repetition must drive you insane You say my book isn't thick enough, there isn't enough plot and that it's not what you want to read But I say I like every inch of your book, it makes you think and it's just thick enough You say my book won't sit well on your shelf, it's too different But I say that it fits perfectly, your bookshelf needs some variety You say that the happy ending in my book isn't what you want But I say how do you know what you want until you've tried it? I can bicker and banter, reason and fight, but it won't change the fact that you are stuck on page 3 in your little novel And you chose to tear out my part before actually reading it

Reading different books
I thought we were on the same page, Turns out we weren't even in the same book Reading a classic romance, I stumbled across you and thought that this was it While you only wanted to finish and restart your little Bildungsroman The repetition must drive you insane You say my book isn't thick enough, there isn't enough plot and that it's not what you want to read But I say I like every inch of your book, it makes you think and it's just thick enough You say my book won't sit well on your shelf, it's too different But I say that it fits perfectly, your bookshelf needs some variety You say that the happy ending in my book isn't what you want But I say how do you know what you want until you've tried it? I can bicker and banter, reason and fight, but it won't change the fact that you are stuck on page 3 in your little novel And you chose to tear out my part before actually reading it
