after reading the last page

finally the book is done.
i've read
the last page, and now
my heart is broken.
i'll miss these people.
this story.
this tale that held me captive 
for so long.
i'll keep it nearby
on the nightstand,
like a picture of an old love, 
an old memory.
i'll keep the book nearby,
within reach,
until a new one comes
along.
