Bonding Over Books

In the quiet hush of a library’s embrace,

Two hearts converged in a timeless space.

Between the pages, stories unfurled,

Of distant lands and enchanted worlds.

Fingers grazed spines, old and new,

Each title a portal, each word a clue.

One chose mystery, the other chose lore,

Together they wandered through literary doors.

Whispers exchanged by the dim reading light,

Debates on endings that stretched through the night.

A villain redeemed, a hero’s plight,

Their voices mingled, steady and bright.

Bookmarks exchanged like secret signs,

Love penned in margins, between the lines.

Not just tales, but dreams were shared,

Through every chapter, their souls repaired.

Bound not by fate, but by stories profound,

In the world of books, love’s thread they found.

A bond of ink, of paper, of art,

And a library card to each other’s heart.
