Once you take that first sip of their words, you'll be addicted because they are the most delicious poison you've ever tasted. You'll be amazed by the way they perceive the world and how they can transform the commonplace into something wonderful. You'll take on a life of your own and serve as a model for their creative work. You will serve as both the inspiration for each word they write and the ink in their pen.

It will be amazing at first. They will spin stories of love and romance, using their words to create striking images. You'll experience both the gentle touch of their lips and the warmth of the sun on your skin. They'll make you lose yourself in their fictional universes, and you'll be delighted for every second.

But after that, the pain will begin. You'll identify with them and their tales, and you'll come to understand that not everyone gets happy endings. Reading between the lines will allow you to discern the suffering, the uphill battle, the heartache, and the loss. You'll question whether you were ever truly loved or whether you were just a plot device to further the narrative.

They will pour everything they have into their writing, leaving nothing for you to watch. They will write in notebooks or type on their computers all through the night. They will look off into space as they strive to come up with the ideal approach to conveying themselves.

They will get so engrossed in their own world of words, which they will never leave, that they will forget birthdays and anniversaries. They'll never stop searching for the ideal phrase, narrative, or conclusion. They will never stop looking for the perfect words to express the joy and suffering of life.

Furthermore, even though you will always be a part of their stories, you will never truly own their words. The legacy they leave behind and the impression they make on the world will be their words. The most accurate reflection of who they are and how they feel will come through in their words. You'll notice how beautiful their writing is and how it has the power to move mountains and alter lives.

 

 

Therefore, never fall in love with a writer until you are prepared to participate in the tale they are telling, even if it is not the story you would prefer to read. Unless you are prepared to accept them as they are, even if that means that they will never truly be yours, unless you are ready to respect them for what they have to say, even if it means being stolen from and made immortal in pen and paper,

Loving a writer is a captivating and complex experience. Their words possess an intoxicating allure that draws you in, leaving you craving more. You'll be enchanted by their unique perspective as they effortlessly transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. They will inspire and influence you, becoming both muse and mentor in your own creative endeavours.

However, alongside the enchantment, there will be moments of pain. You'll intimately identify with their tales, discovering the harsh realities and heartaches woven between the lines. Their relentless dedication to their craft may lead to moments of forgetfulness and solitude as they chase the elusive perfect expression.

Ultimately, loving a writer means accepting that their words belong to the world. Their legacy will live on through their stories, leaving an indelible impression on readers everywhere. It's a journey of profound connection and profound loss, where you become a part of their narrative, even if you're left wondering if you were just a character in their story.
