The air in my lungs are the words written in books
I'm a reader. I love touching the glossy cover of a new book. I love opening it and glancing at the first couple of pages, skimming through the copyright information and book dedications. I love the first sentence of the book because its what captures me .It's the soft click of the door behind me, leaving the world i know today and entering the world i want to live in. I love turning the pages, the sound of them. I love how hours pass, the shadows on the walls of my bedroom grow longer until it is completely dark except for the lamp beside me. I love when the main character does something cute making me smile to myself. I hate when i get to the middle. I hate the little bit of panic that rises in my chest at the thought of it ending, of leaving the world that has had my rapt attention for hours. I hate when the main character gets hurt, its like a tugging sensation at my heart, like i cant breathe. I hate when i'm on the last chapter, when im on the last page. I have to put the book down for a moment before i lose myself in hysteria. I pick it up and turn the page - the very page that will open the door to the world that i hate, the world i'm so desperate to get away from.
