Let Me Treat You Like A Book

Let Me Treat You Like A Book

A Poem by Laura Harrison

Let me treat you like a book

I want to read you from beginning to end

to discover the story that lies within you

I want to sit with you beside a burning fire

with a cup of hot chocolate

while it’s raining outside

allow me to breathe in your beautiful scent

and to stroke your spine with my fingertips

I want to take care of you

and to make sure that you never get damaged

or gather dust in your heart

I want to be the person who will never tire of you

and I want to carry you with me wherever I go

let me treat you like a book

because you know that I would never

do anything to hurt one of those.
