what's not to love?
falling in love
at a used bookstore
it’s everything
that remains unwritten
the spaces in between words
an inkless infatuation
the yellowing pages
the stale scent of aged paper
the worn binding
frayed pages
highlights
annotations
folded corners
smudges
stories
that books tell
without words
characters
places
the magic
it spells out
an unwritten
love
for books
they are like people
in many ways with
untold stories
of all previous
owners and
various shelves
that they’ve lived on
all of these untold
reasons that make
falling in love at a used
bookstore the most subtly
extravagant experience a person
should have with the unwritten
at least once
