We used to meet between the shelves
Stacked our hopes on book club elves
You read aloud with shaky tone
And made each story feel like home
We'd pause on words too big to say And a smile never looked away
The checkout cards still bear our
names Stamped inside forgotten frames
Ink has faded,
spine is torn But I still feel that place we formed
Us checking library rare Words we borrow,
dreams we share
Your whisper turned the paper bright
The fiction felt more true than night
I still keep page 83
Where you underline belief in me
Chapters don't close, they soften
They move the shelves,
the chairs are new
But sometimes I still visit too A girl reads now in your old seat
She
curls her feet,
her voice is sweet And for a second just that part
It echoes what once filled my heart
Us checking library rare
Words we borrow,
dreams we share
Your whisper turned the paper bright
The fiction felt more true than night
I still keep page 83 Where you underline belief in me
Us checking library rare Words we borrow,
dreams we share
Your whisper turned the paper bright
The fiction felt more true than night
I still keep page 83 Where you underline belief in me
Chapters don't close,
they soften
