You smiled so widely at me
I got up and kissed your cheeks,
It is our way of greet,
Especially when a person is dear.
"I brought you a gift." You said,
Holding up a square that was red,
I grabbed it and started to shred,
And it was a book I've never read.
You gave me a knowing look,
As we share our love of books,
My excitement grew in number,
As I felt you observing in wonder.
"It is a personal favourite.“ You winked,
I went through many pages, inked.
I saw you sitting and holding it,
Enjoying the tale it tells in interest.
Then my eyes connected to the ceiling,
It was but a dream I am heeding..
