I want to

I want to watch you read a book.
I want to see how your face reacts to the text only you can see.
I want to hear you laugh at the characters you imagine.
I want to watch as you turn the page and take in a new chapter.
I want to not distract you from the world in your head.
I want to play with a strand of your hair when your attention is elsewhere.
I want to become the pages.
I want to become the text.

We are the characters in this weird book about forever.
We are the memories of our older selves.
We are the tattered edges of a well used paperback.
We are the love story without an ending.

I want to watch you read a book.
