My Dearest Love
My Dearest Love,
I have missed you the entirety of this excruciatingly long day. I count down the hours until I can hold you in my hands. The thought of being cuddled up on my brown leather sofa under a blanket and tuning the world out to absorb you has me racing to get home to you. There is nothing in this entire universe that could ever keep us apart.
Your beautiful outside layers draw me in with every look. Sometimes you are worn down and other times you have never been touched by another. I do not care, either way, I am still madly in love with you. You draw me in like a moth to a flame, and sometimes I struggle to put you down.
Even now, when you are at home, and I am away, I can smell your scent. The memory of freshly cut paper and a subtle inky aroma fills my nostrils. But then, I remember the musty, earth like scent that reminds me that others have held you before. I love every scent that you give off and wish to be always enveloped within that scent.
As I open you up you tell me the most beautiful story, and I fall more in love with you the longer that I sit with you in my hands. I remember the tale of dragons and love you told me last week that had me on the edge of my seat. I love embarking on new adventures with you. You transport me to worlds unknown, where fantastical creatures roam and love stories unfold in the most unexpected ways.
Even in solitude, you provide companionship. The cozy afternoons spent curled up with you in a sunbeam are moments I treasure. I find comfort in your familiarity; the spine that once crackled under my fingertips reminds me of countless adventures we’ve shared.
As I read you over and over, please know that my affection for you only deepens. You are timeless, and the bond we share is one I hope to never lose. You are everything that I could ever hope and dream for in a book. Beautiful on both the outside and inside, no matter what version I get of you. I am enticed forever in your warmth, comfort, and adventure. I will never take you for granted.
With all my heart,

Taylor, I can relate completely to what you’ve written here. On my busiest days at work, I find solace in the knowledge that when I’m finished, I can return to whatever treasured book is currently living in my head. No matter what I’m reading, I can find time to escape the monotony of my life. Thank you for sharing your experience!
