The End
The END
I saw you at a distance
Intriguing and new
I picked you up like a book
Flipping page after page
Delving deeper and deeper
Into your spell
The world slowed down
It sped up
But I just stood there
Reading,
Sinking…
You gave me an escape
An escape to a
World of fantasies
A place to be my oasis
But as I read on
The story changed
And chapters passed me by
The real world came knocking
At my door
But I kept it waiting
I couldn’t put you down
So I kept going
Till the end came near
Terrified of having to let go
Yet even more horrified of lingering
So I read on
All of a sudden
The last chapter arrived
The last page
You weren’t what I had expected
So as I closed the book
And set it down
I didn’t reel for a sequel
Instead I walked off
Content with my journey
And ready to shelve this saga
Once more.

This piece may seem as though its about a relationship, but in truth its about unrequited love. Or in simpler terms, a crush. It was my first serious crush, and well I had been suffering. Now that it's over, I'm glad for the experience.
