I couldn't forget the first time I went outside at night
I was amazed by the countless twinkling stars at the sky
I didn't know there exists such a marvelous sight
I wish every night is as beautiful as the scene before my eyes
At that time, the moon wasn't spared even one glance
It was completely outclassed, outshined by the stars
Maybe it was their twinkle, or perhaps their number, I don't know
I was just totally enraptured that even the moon was brushed off
However, because of that, I have forgotten its importance
That even millions of stars combined pale in comparison to its radiance
That however many they can be
They can never replace this heavenly body
Yet, despite this, I got too used to my moon being here
That I have always neglect her for all the stars that appear
I cried for every one less star in the sky
Until I'm with a night, devoid of light
Somehow, the overwhelming sadness I felt blocked my sight
That I ignored the moon who was still at my side
I literally became blind because of loneliness
There was no light, there was only darkness
And then something happened
The moon seemed to be weaker, even dimming
The once dazzling light started fading
That one would think, its life is ending
That sight brought me back to reality
The flickering light is all I can see
I remembered the darkest nights of my life
I realized that she was always there at my side
At that time, I thought I was lonely
I was actually never alone! It dawned on me
She stayed, always there, forever shining
Despite not being acknowledged, she's still smiling
I never thought that I would be mourning like this
When a thousand stars light the night sky
Everyone admired the spectacular sight
Yes, everyone but me
How ironic I'm being right now
When I wished for this to happen countless times
No one even noticed the moon's absence
Yeah, no one but me
So this is how dark the night would be without the moon
I thought
No, scratch that, actually, this is how lonely I would be if I lost my moon
I realized
So tonight's a new moon huh
It wouldn't hurt to wish again right?
At this moment, I saw a shooting star
I wish the moon would shine bright again
Once again, I looked at the night sky
There I saw a very bright full moon with one tiny star at the side
I smiled at the sight
My wish came true! What a wonderful night
Then, I shifted my sight at my moon, still slightly pale, who's smiling at me
I hugged my moon and vowed to her, "Mom, I will never let the stars outshine you again"
Somehow, at that time, her smile seemed brighter for a reason
Even brighter than the brightest star in the darkest night
Let's appreciate every moon out there :>
