If you
smell like a book..
I will
write your preface
And try
gauging your essence by the titles of your stories
If you smell like a book...
I will time travel all along with you
At times, travel, too, maybe
If you smell like a book...
I'll flaunt you like an asset
Known far more for its cover
If you smell like a book...
I will keep next to me my dictionary
And undeterred, find out more meanings to you
If you smell like a book...
I will re-read you like my favourite paragraphs
And underline the underlying parts
If you smell like a book...
My bookmarks for you will serve me more than what they are
meant for
If you smell like a book...
I will keep you for long so you smell like an old book
And if ever you happen to become my most favourite book,
I shall talk about you nineteen to a dozen and never let go
off you..
Only because I don't share things like you
But only if you smell like a book...
