Let Me Treat You Like A Book

Let me treat you like a book

I want to read you from beginning to end

to discover the story that lies within you

I want to sit with you beside a burning fire

with a cup of hot chocolate

while it’s raining outside

allow me to breathe in your beautiful scent

and to stroke your spine with my fingertips

I want to take care of you

and to make sure that you never get damaged

or gather dust in your heart

I want to be the person who will never tire of you

and I want to carry you with me wherever I go

let me treat you like a book

because you know that I would never

do anything to hurt one of those.

Sometimes I feel a poem warming the cockles of my heart and this is such a poem. Lovely image and such great feelings radiate from it....thank you :)

I liked your story because it resonates with how I feel, and no doubt many other will feel the same. Good poems always relate and good poems resonate. The also reflect truth and that truth is universal and common in mankind.

It is a little prosaic in parts, could n=be betetr pruned down a bit. Suggestions:

I love this because you describe the perfect bookworm. Books are a huge part of my life and I'm amazed by how you were to compare to a human relationship. Curling up by the fire, breathing in the scent. I always smell a books pages when I first buy it, I can just never get enough of how luscious and welcoming the smell is. This was beautiful...so well done!

This is a beautiful metaphor. It perfectly describes loving a person, how you know very little about them at first, and then, as you read more and more you discover and begin to love them. How, when you know everything about a person, they are the most important thing in the world, and you wish to protect and care for them. Great poem, it was a lovely read.

Laura, this was absolutely beautiful. I'm a complete and utter bookworm. I could read 10-20 books a week and I'm not kidding, the amount of money I spend on a book is ridonkulous!

I loved this one, relatable indeed!
