I Must Have been a Book In My Past Life

 

I must have been a book in my past life

For every time I see a book,

I feel like I'm looking at a kindred spirit,

a family member I have loved for a lifetime,

whom I'll continue to love in all the years to come

 

I must have been a book in my past life

For every time I see a sentence,

I feel the yearning to pull it into my embrace,

and to add more sentences before and after it,
