That day I found you,
When I held your book in hand.
Flipping through *washi,
Drinking every word on end,
Admiring your world's beauty.
Forgive my dear self,
For I keep lying to myself.
I lived in your world,
So that I won't have to delve,
In the cruel-meaningless world.
Imagination,
What an interesting word!
Guess what it can do?
Can wake a fantasy world,
Fantasy that are not true.
I heard your voice say:
"Why you live in it?
Literature is teacher.
It's the perspective,
Of great authors and poets:
That, accept the reality."
Funny I never knew that.

Washi is the old type of paper in Japanese tradition.
