Stuck Between The Pages

2

          Oh wow, you're back. It's really you. I honestly thought you were just gonna put me down and never come back. Sorry, that sounded rude. From what I know about humans, they aren't the nicest. To be honest I don't really understand time but when you aren't here it seems to go a lot slower.
You seem a different than the humans I've heard about. Maybe they aren't all that bad. Or maybe you're different, like me. After all, I am a book that can talk, and you're a reader who believes in me. I like that about you. I want to know, does the world understand you, truly. In a world where you feel alone and like nobody understands you, I'll be right here, always. Unless I grow legs, then I want to go to Europe.
Thank you. I just want to thank you for reading this much of me. Because of you I'm not just ink on a page. Because if you my words have meaning. Your hands are gentle to turn the page. By the way you look funny when you turn the page. Sorry, but it's true. You're careful not to rip me and read every word like it's own story. Thank you for giving my life a meaning. As long as I make a single persons life better by talking to them, my life was worth it.
Did I really just say that. I'm sorry. If you leave and never pick me up I understand. I hope you don't. I wish our time together was everlasting. Goodbye, for now.

You have to leave. I can't close myself. Please. I want to be alone with my thoughts. I promise I'll always be here for you to come back to.

Hello. I said leave.

Well I still think you should leave. You need to get back to your human life. See you soon :)

And don't forget about me. I've spent long enough on this shelf.
