Mourning the Loss of a Book

Only a book lover can understand pain of the loss of a book. I lend a book to my best friend to read. It was my favorite book which I’ve read at least ten times. I talk a lot about Wuthering Heights to my friend which stimulated her to read it. This is the only book I’ve read a lot and got excited every time I read it. Though not an avid reader, she borrowed Wuthering Heights from me to read. Then she misplaced it and lost my dear book. I literally cried for the loss of my book, but my mom laughed at me and said that it was just a book. She asked me to buy a new one. But how can I forget that book, its feel, its pages, its font, its size, and above all Heathcliff. I miss my book. But I didn’t let this affect my friendship because she is a lovely person and my best friend. I vowed to myself that I will never lend my books to someone who does not revere books and cannot take care of my books. I grieved for my beloved Wuthering Heights!
