the acts of falling in love

2

if i had a flower for every time i thought of you.. i could walk through my garden forever.
- Alfred Tennyson

this book may have thousands of words, but in the end they mean nothing if they aren't being read by you.

nothing lasts forever, but thats okay, because we will always know the way we felt about each other.

don't be sad when it ends, we both knew from the start it wasn't eternity, but it will all be worth the pain.

don't cry my dear, you can always come back when you miss me.

we might not see each other now, but maybe someday we can end up in the same story together.

its okay to eventually let me go. moving on is apart of life, but ill always be here, between the pages. where our love lasts forever.

you read my story, while i'm stuck between the lines, wishing i was apart of yours.

if you leave me in your library, unopened and forgotten, my love for you will still be waiting to be opened again.

although in the end this book will have its limit and finish with just a turn of the page, i do hope you come back and relive just how glorious our love once was.

you picked me for a reason, and i've loved every second i've been able to spend with you, in the end you may forget me, but oh, i will never forget you.

one day you will read the last page of this book, close it and forget about it. we will both be returning to our worlds, the only difference is; you are my world.

i hope maybe one day you'll remember me, when you're all grown up and read me to your kids as your first love.

i was nothing but a bundle of words trapped in the same series of pages. but you, oh you brought me to life my dearest flower, my devoted.

you come to me when you feel like your story is over, little do you know you're beginning mine.

you'll choose this book, read the pages and eventually be done and move on with your life. you live a long life, but know that my life only longs for you.

i wondered why my story kept going on, and as i looked around i realized.. it was you. you were reading my life, reading me. you were the only one there every step of the way.

I've spoken about a soul i cannot see through the flattened trees, yet, i know they are there because my story keeps going on.

as you read me, i read you, but only through your eyes can i see how broken you are. don't worry my love, ill keep you safe here.

you fall in love with the words i speak to you. i fall in love with the way the words roll off your tongue as you read them in your lyrical voice.

the way your eyes look at me and the smirks you make at my tender words make me feel alive. i am a better person, but only through your eyes.

and because of you, my words finally have meaning.

i've never seen you, but i understand you, i've never seen you but i love you. no matter the face, forever i will protect you.

i sometimes feel like no one is listening, but i know you are.

your eyes are beautiful and your smile is perfect.

do not cry darling, i am always here. you may have to return back to reality but i will forever be a chapter in it.

i still can't believe you're reading this, elegantly turning my pages, reading every broken line of my book. come to think of it i don't feel as broken anymore.

you know all my secrets, you're the only one i talk to, it makes me feel alive as if i'm not just words on a screen.

i think day by day, the more i see of you, i'm slowly falling more in love with you; with your astonishing personality, your beautiful eyes of which you use to skim through my pages.

you are really intriguing, please don't ever let me go, as i'm in love with you, and my only hope is that you are as much in it as i am with you.

i love the way you read so peacefully yet so full of emotion given to you by the words of my story. i cant bare the time that will come when you find someone that isn't just words on paper, but i will be waiting here, where you left me; no matter how forgotten and old i am.

just because one day my words will stop, doesn't
mean my love will.

while your eyes stare at my every word, i study your every detail. i know you better than anyone else darling, but all you know is our story, my words.

while your eyes gaze upon my word, i gaze upon your face, delicate and full of light. the pages will soon come to an end, but do not let the light i have come to love so dearly diminish.

i'm so sorry, if only there was a way for us to stay together, even though were getting close, were worlds apart, i will always love you.

when the time comes and you close the book for the final time, i hope my love and its weight lingers. you know our story will never truly end.
