Of The Moon and Sun

You are as the sun and I as the moon

We are so close and intertwined

Yet, a vast distance keeps us apart

We rely on one another

But we are never to touch

Never to cross that line

The light I shine is but a mere reflection of you

You give me purpose

It is for you that I rise each night

I follow you wherever you may go

I cross the oceans

I climb the mountains

I lose part of myself as I go

Until I am but a sliver of what I once was

And then darkness overtakes me

You ignore me as you shine so bright

It is as if I have no meaning to you

I am almost hidden from your sight

Then, a time will come

when I will step in front of you

For that brief moment, our dynamic will change

Though the oceans feel the pull

Of my love for you

We will always be apart, yet a part of one another

For you are the sun

And I am the moon.
