you are my
favorite
book
to read

never too far
from me
in the day
and always
by my side
at night

your pages
may be
wrinkled
and worn
but the most
ripped, torn, tattered
page
is my favorite part

i could fix these dings
(it would take just a little love&care;&tap;;)
but the integrity of your words
would be altered
in the worst way

these pages are the ones
i peruse in the darkest
corners of my room
the lines that are most imprinted
in the folds of my brain

no sequel could ever compare
