I finally understand what she was to me!
After all these months,
Searching,
Pleading for the right words,
I finally have the answers I've been looking for!
She wasn't the sun.
She was the brightest thing in the sky at the time,
But I could stare at her for hours
and feel everything but pain.
She wasn't the stars,
For although she was just as beautiful,
All the stars in the sky combined
Couldn't produce the light she did.
After asking for sympathy from the midnight sky,
I finally know what she was.
She was the Moon.
In the midst of the lonely autumn night,
She lit up the entire world.
Gray clouds rolled along,
But none of them could block her shine.
And I stared in melodious epiphany,
I came to understand that in that time,
You and I were the only things alive,
Ever.
My heart beat in time with the Moon,
I understood its phases,
Felt its craters,
And committed to it, my own.
The pale white light cast on
The weak wooden porch has helped
Me recognize the one solid truth
That has yet to escape my heart,
And my throat will groan if I don't scream it now,
That I have fallen in love with the Moon!
Her perfect ***** blonde hair,
Framing her beautiful pale face
And its illuminating smile.
And without the Moon,
The seas would rise and flood the Earth,
As if Poseidon himself were angry it left.
The Moon was with me all this time,
And i never knew,
Even when it was the only thing on my mind.
I love the Moon,
But now the New Moon has plagued the sky.
She's there,
But I cannot see her.
And that's ok.
I understand now.
