Reading is the new black
that is the tune playing
in the background;
sounds of jazz,
sounds of my body
inside your arms.

Reading is the new green
like yesterday theme
when
you and I were having
a picnic on your backyard.

Reading is the new red
like my cocktail dress
that on friday I wore
and you for the first time
kiss me on my lips.

Reading is the new classic pencil
like the drawing that you gave me
asking me to be your girlfriend.

Those are the moments
of our lives together
when reading got into the mix,
into the equation of us.

Like when I was reading to you
or you reading to me
or reading together.

Yeah! Reading is cool,
reading is our thing
and reminds me of you
when you are not near.
