can one fall in love with words?
because I am smitten with his
can one love a face not yet seen?
oh,I am living proof
a life sized figurine

Am I even a realist anymore?
if I fell for a tale and its teller oceans away?
a phantom I only know by a pen name?

am I even a realist anymore?
if I fell for the lyrics of a nonexistent song?
and I feel him humming along?

if anyone ever hears of my story ,this will be its prelude:
I fell in love with the writing THEN the writer
first the words THEN their author
the poems BEFORE the poet
and whoever gets to love him in real life,I will covet .
