Literary Delights

I close the book with a sigh
As I try not to cry.
The story has come to an end.
I'm in love with the hero,
And now that it's over,
I know I'll not see him again.

I could read it once more
But it would be a bore,
I know how the story will end.
So I shall not bother
As I reach for another,
Pursuing my game of pretend.

Joyce - oh, how many times have I fallen in love with the characters or the time it was written in, while reading books. You know the last page is coming and it like having to say good-bye to someone dear to you. Enjoyed this. Chris
