Closing The BookBy Stephen B. Bagley
It surprised me when I swept offall the books on the shelf. I thoughtI had long since spent my passionin purchasing your faithless heart.
You feel uncertain of our life,you tell me. What you mean is yourbetter love than me may still beout there. Why settle for less here?
So go. Leaving is how you showhow little you care, how littleyou understand the rarityof love in this non-fiction world.
If this were a story, you wouldcome back broken, and I would letyou love me or even betterintroduce you to my new love.
Since this is not, I will pick upthe scattered books and set them backon the shelf, being careful to setyours to one side to box later..
