I just couldn't put it down. I held it firmly
in my hand and flip page after page, until I knew
nothing at all.
Yes, I fell fast asleep while reading. I slept
with my book in my bed last night. I wonder
what my mom would say? She was a book lover too.
I apologized to the bookshelf, and said I'd
try not to do it again. I can't help it! I love
the relationship that we've developed. I don't
know what's wrong with me.
Normally, I'd fold my reading blanket, and return
my book to the bookshelf, but last night was different.
It was a very special night. Last night was the dawn of a
new era. No, last night was a fun reading adventure at its best.
Last night, was the start of something everlasting.
I felt possessed by reading, but in a good way.
Possessed by every shimmering word found
between the pages of my new love of sleep reading.
My dreams were sweet! Who knows, I might do it again tonight.
