Sometimes, my words get
all muffled up
So this time,
I leave a book at your door
I have earmarked the pages
I have fallen in love with
The words that have
Mingled with my soul
The sentences that pause
Just when you want them to
And I hope you read it
On a drenched rainy afternoon
With a warm cup of coffee
By your side
I hope it makes you wonder
How could a mortal
Pen thoughts so poignant
And dare I hope
that you fall in love
with the book too?
Laughing at all the right places
Reading aloud all the right lines
Brushing off unbidden tears
Just like I do
You see, I had not known love
Before we met
And I hope
Every word of that book
Explains it for me, to you
