You,
Under the covers,
Reading this,
A lover of books,
A reader lost in a world of words afar,
Who would rather live with words than with me,
This message is for you.
A message in starlight.
Somewhere in my life,
I was you, in pages deep, living with words,
Romanticising with those characters,
Yet forgetting to see the beauty in living.
Yes, books were often better than people,
But not all people are better than books.
Not all hearts can be replaced.
Some just come into your life,
Makes spark fly with a smile.
Some just hold your hand,
Comfort you in eternal silence.
Some just speak in your language,
Drawing stars around your scars.
When life's tides both ebb and flow,
Books may not always be the way to go.
The stories we read may speak our language,
But we don't speak.
Sometimes you need some souls to speak with.
So, don't always hide behind the books,
Let your soul's light brightly shine,
For in this world, both near and far,
There are souls that match your shining star.
