A girl that Reads.

Share your life with a girl that reads. A girl who read has issue with space, not for her cloths but for her books. Find a girl who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who has unread books available to her, the one that quietly and so intensively looks over shelves intrigued.

The one that will silently cry when she finds a book she has being searching for a long time, you know that girl that can find the smell of pages fascinating, especially when they are yellow and can be found in the second hand bookstores, they have history.
She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street, the one that is so lost in the world the aurthor has made to believe. Try sitting next to her, she might glare at you and ignore you because she doesnt want to be interrupted but ask her about the her book and she will bedazzle you with enthusiasm.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Be sincere about your thoughts on Murakami, discover if she read beyond the first chapter of the fellowship. She might try to say she understood Ulysses to sound intelligent. Find out if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

When you love a girl who reads, give her the gift of words, in poetry, in songs, allow your words to move her soul and reach the daskest places in her imagination. Giver her words of Neruda, Sexton, Pound or even your own. Always let her know that you understand that words are love.

Date a girl who reads, she knows the difference between the fantasy of books and reality. She will however try to bring a little of that fantasy into her life, dont blame her for it and it will never be your fault if she does.

BUT she will give it a good shot.

A girl that reads, she understand syntax and that behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. Date a girl who reads because she understands that usually failure, always leads up to climax. A girl that reads knows that things always come to an end, but that a sequel can always be written. A girl that reads is not afraid to be herself and is honest because she understand that people just like character develop.

When you find a girl that reads, keep her closer to you. You will find her at odd hours of the night close to her pages, completely inmerse waiting for the ending, she might even weep, just fix her a cup of tea and allow her to linger in literature. You will loose her for a couple of hours, but she will always come back to you.

She’ll talk about the characters in books as if they are real, because for a while, they are to her. You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

With a girl that reads, You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who inspires to write.
