the old friends on the shelf

the books i love to read,
i read again.
dogeared and worn.
the pages coming apart
at the seams.
coffee stains,
and tears.
they have become
old friends.
i underline what's true,
what feels important
to me.
then back onto the shelf
they go.
waiting for the next time.
when i have nothing
new to read.
