The light shines
Over your every design
The dark blue that covers you
Mimics the ocean blue
The dragons dance upon the cover
Stretching out and over
the pages are old and stiff
the spine cracks with every shift.
I have held you close through thick and thin
Though not by blood to me you're kin
You don't speak, think, talkā€¦ only listen

It's been so long since our first meet
Remember the sun, the summer's heat?
What's that old saying?

morrei senza voi?...

It's true
I would die without you.
So keep my secrets and stay forever mine
Stay with me till the end of time

You hold all my secrets within your pages
From growth of mind to adolescent fazes.
Hold within you my unshed tears
So please keep my secrets and forbidden fears
