i can't help but to love you like the sun loves the moon.
upon first sight, i reflected your light, and made it
pearlescent, sporadic, and needing,
when all i wanted to do was scintillate and love as bright as you.

then i remember your rays not only touch me, but earth's and all its inhabitants.
perhaps a reflection of you is all i'll ever be.

but the reality is,
we are parallel ,
and i need to know that you like me
as much as i like you
