People say that this one life we live is all that we have, but I've lived about a thousand lives in a year.

I've scaled mountains, rode dragons and held your hand. I've danced in the rain, been a millionaire and dirt poor. I've kissed you under the stars and walked on the moon. I've jumped out of planes and I've stolen priceless art. I've been around the world, I've spoken languages beyond your comprehensition. I've Fought, died one to many times, was reborn too. I've chased the end of the world. I was a princess and the peasant. I've confessed my love, and I've stood back and watched you be happy with another. I've seen my life unfold and I've lived with regret.

I did, I saw, I experienced, in my heart and minds eyes. All between those pages, in every crease and smudge and ink blot, between the covers. I experienced life. In every verb, noun, conjuction and metaphor. Every dirty joke and bright world. I lived. I've breathed in them all, each leaving a mark on the baren walls of my heart and mind.

If only you knew.
