It's like a written dream
Where you get so lost-
it's hard to tell apart reality from imaginary
The books become a companion
Filling a void that you have in life
They make you laugh when a character has a sense of humor
And bring you to tears when a tragedy has occurred
It get you angry towards the antagonist
And makes you feel loved when surrounded by family.
You can't help but follow the protagonist
through their journey and
Sighting
Laughing
Crying
Smiling
And frowning
along, as if you are the one experiencing it.
The books you read become so much apart of you
It's hard to grasp the concept that it is not your life
When the battle has been won
The last kiss has been given
And the last Farewell has been said,
Your heart clenches
because you feel as you can never be complete without their presence.
Books give you knowledge
They feed you images
But overall they teach you a way of looking-
At the world in a different way,
Give you a unique perception,
And leave you kissed by possibilities of what is in store with Life.
