She Tells Me

She tells me every time she reads what I write
Her head goes up in the clouds
The same feeling she gets when I turn her pages
Handling each fold of her flower ever so gentle 

She tells me every time she reads my poems
I remind her of her favourite author
Cause I put her on pause 
And press play on her emotions 

She tells me every time she reads my words out loud
There's an air of silence that comes around
And every word from the book comes alive
That's why at times she closes her eyes to feel them 

She tells me every time she reads what I write
She's unsure if I describe her in my words
Cause I make her out as someone beautiful 
While all she sees in the mirror is just a shy girl 

She tells me every time she reads my words
She's jealous that everyone will want a piece, 
of me cause with every piece I keep them longing 
Longing for the next piece that I'll put out 

She tells me that the day I stop writing 
Is the day she'll stop reading
Cause for now she's trying to understand,
what goes in my mind.
For it's only in poems that I share a lot
