Reading is running away with a friend
He takes me away
into a different world.
Never letting go of my hand
leading me the whole way
but giving me enough space to explore on my own.
Though, when I explore,
I drag him with me,
too afraid to lose him.
My wild imagination, too crazy to explore,
but yet
I still go there
eager for an adventure.
He still doesn't let go of my hand
with that, I know,
He will always be there
wanting to escape,
run away,
take me,
and go exploring again.
