How could you expect someone to be committed to a relationship,
if they’re not committed to reading? š¤
I need a woman who loves recreational reading as much as she loves breathing. š
When I really want to get to know a woman,
I listen to her playlists and read her favorite books.
I don’t care if she sends me sweet text messages;
morning – noon – and night,
if there’s no texture, no depth.
I need texture, I need depth,
I need something more than looks.
Iām looking for the girl whose face is blocked by a book.
If reading is the new sexy,
I know book bae is buried in a book. šš
Nothing makes me feel more alive
than discourse with a woman that loves books.
I like ’em afro bloomin’ with the melanin poppin’,
#turnupabook tee, #readmore button rockin’.
I’m looking for the woman who’s referring to the bookstore
when she exclaims “let’s go shopping!”
I need a well read black girl that’s not afraid to write her name in the sky.
When I exclaim THE BOOK IS BETTER,
the love of my life would already know why.
I’m the type of guy to take an awkward black girl around way.
I need an around the way girl; if I may say.
If reading is the new sexy,
I want a girl that hashtags books are bae.
