like a good book, though I know every line
because I have read it so many times
I know the start, and how it will end
reading it's like, a long lost friend
the story doesn't change, though I want it to
parts make me happy and others make me blue
looking for answers, here deep in a phrase
sometimes things don't work that way
still, once started, I read it through
some parts forgotten, or once misconstrued
always new meaning I find on each page
until it is done and I put it away
