not wanting the book to end

there is so much

i don't have to tell you.

you already know these things.

the way

i sleep,

or what i choose to eat.

the books i read.

the unraveling plot of me.

you know so much.

and as far as you go,

i'm still learning.

turning gently to the next page,

not wanting

the book to end.

collecting clues to who

you are,

along the way.
