'Read with me.'

You asked me to, for the hundredth time

Since we met.

It was for a hundredth time yet I still felt thrilled.

Butterflies churned my stomach as we pick up the same book from the bookshelves.

My heart raced as we started to read at the same time.

I was never a fast reader, so for you I learned.

But what I didn't know was, while I was on page 20 still falling.

You were half way already gripped.

And it hit me.

No matter how fast I try to read.

No matter how hard I try to keep up with you.

We'll never be on the same page.
