Come to me
Reach for my hand
I'll hold you close
Come to me.

Rest your head on my shoulder
Let me kiss your hair
Wrap my arms around you
Rest your head on my shoulder.

Lie down next to me
Let me embrace you
Feel you, stare at you
Lie down next to me.

Let me embrace you
I'll hold you tight
Smell your hair, your skin
Let me embrace you.

I'll wake you up
Plant kisses on your face
Caress your body
I'll wake you up.

Ask for my kiss
Open your eyes
Smile at me
Ask for my kiss.

Tell me you love me
Say you need me
Say it, say it
Tell me you love me.

I love you
For the rest of my life
Until the next life
I love you.

How to Open a New Book


  • Place the book with its back on a table.
  • Let the front cover down.
  • Then the back cover.
  • Then open a few leaves in front.
  • Then a few at the back, alternating front and back, gently pressing them down until the center is reached.
  • Do this two or three times in order to limber up the binding. Should you open the volume roughly or carelessly, you may break the back and cause the leaves to loosen.
NEVER FORCE THE BACK; if it does not readily yield, it is too tightly or strongly lined.
It needs gentle treatment, much the same as a machine needs lubricating.



My old books might look a lot better if I had seen this picture a long time ago. So thank you to that person who posted that. :)
