The moon shone bright that night
under the stars away from everything
there you were, showing that deep smile
and bold physique.

Appalled by your beauty I wanted to get close,
amidst the feelings that came rushing in
I thought of approaching you gently,
yet I only stood there,
feeling vulnerable
as you made your exit.

I cried myself to sleep that night,
awoken by the scene of you coming back,
unaware of the irony that it was me
who agreed to let you go.
