I sit there and open you up preparing myself for the tales you have for me.I take a deep breath and examine you determining whether or not I want to open and explore your every detail.

I give in and look over your bold printed black words I'm hooked.

You've captured me and put me under a spell if someone were to pass they would see the sparkle in my eyes.

The one you put there leaving me breathless as I read you in anticipation, you are my escape from reality my safe haven when I need to get away.

I smile as I imagine myself in the place of the person that was inscribed into you. With a final sigh I put you down as your tale comes to an end a tale that I wish wouldn't end but the movie you put in my head has already started to fade away sadly.

Its a tale that I will never forget it is with me and will stay with me forever. I smile once more going over everything that you've told me.Satisfied I get up from my seat leaving you put as I tug my shoes on, and pull my arms through my sleeves of my jacket. With one last breath I look back at you knowing you don't want me to stop reading I hear you cry out.

"open me back up read me again please."

But I ignore your cry and smile one last time as I walk out the door and to the bookstore to find another book to venture into.To make me smile as you did and take me away once more to a distance place and away from this cruel reality that we call life.
