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.
