To Fall Into a Book

Never have I ever 

Ridden a horse 

Fallen in love 

Flown on clouds 

Worn dresses of silk 

Met elves 

Bowed to kings

Spoken to fairies

Petted dragons

Seen a glass castle

Channeled magical powers

 

But I would like to,

To be inside a mythical land,

To be swept away by charming princes

To drink water straight from a river

To approach animals that aren’t scared of me

To have a happy ending

To fall into a book.

 

Because although it will never come true,

I have fallen in love with the world inside my book.
