If I Need a Reason

By: SeriouslySappy
Written on September 14th, 2009

I read to become lost in others words.

I read to exist in a story I'll never know beyond this page.

I read to recapture the excitement that's been drained away from life.

I read to feel the burning passion that can only exist in a dream.

I read to hear the words I wish would be said aloud.

I read to escape into a dimension frozen in time.

    I hear you Oceanwatcher ! Your comment reminds me of something my daughter told me a few months ago after she finished college. One of the things she was most looking forward to was .... reading just for the enjoyment of it ... lol
