I Opened A Book and Fell In Love

I know EVERYONES' fell in love with a character in a book, at least those of us who are not so patriotic to America and actually READ.
I want to hear about it; dreams you've had, dreams you'd like to have, all in poetic form.  They don't have to rhyme, but you can if you want to.

THE RULES
No Sticky caps, that's not romantic
You can be as erotic as you want
No "cutter" suicide stuff. If your character is suicidal, think of something more creative than that!
Other than that, this is my first contest so give me a break.

I'll do my best if you do yours.

    I am so freaking stoked for this.
    & I know exactly who I'm going to write about...
    if I ever feel have enough inspiration to ACTUALLY write about him... instead of just dreamily thinking about him, wishing my muse would waaake up.
    anyway... AWESOME contest idea. you should get some great entries, I'm sure.

    Your ridiculous accusation of America is an immediate mistake for running a contest. The fact that you generalize like that says so much about you... I don't think I've seen such a low blow.
