I hate when people go along and try to write romantically about others. They might say "I looked at her like I looked at the sun", but I think that this is just so ignorant. Do they really mean to say that they squint angrily at her?

Why don't they, instead, talk about her as if she shares characteristics with the moon?

Describe the way she shines, making her light from the rays that shine on her from others. She thrives off of kind words and gentle encouragement. She takes those seemingly random ideas and opportunities and reflects and uses them to make something all her own.
She goes through phases. She may seem like she's not even there at times, but all you have to do is wait. Wait for that exact moment when everything falls into place, and she finally shows herself (it is always worth it to wait for the exact moment: when she is ready)
She is so far away, but she affects so many people. She raises the tides to help all who feel like they're lost at sea.
She shines the brightest when the situation is trying her, spreading her patience thin, and darkness seems to consume her.
She has been here through it all.
Even though many different people see her many different ways, few know what she looks like up close.

Luna, you are incredibly unique. I love you.
This is an idea that I sparked when I was reading something about the moon. I was researching for a project and thought about how perfect this would be.
