every night,
within a few days,
i disappear into your world
and join you in your many quests
i want to embrace you
through the finite pages
of the book in my hands
you gave me a reason to live again
but you’re not even alive
you’re real,
but unreal at the same time
and it kills me that my idea of you
sometimes clashes with reality
for if you were a person
who exists alongside me
the real you will not be without flaws.
