this is for you

In this gigantic world, you are my moon and all of my stars.
While I know clouds get in the way and I am sometimes not graced with your presence, I still pray you meet me again tomorrow.
But how do I know?
How do I know the clouds won't just keep coming and coming and clouding my vision to where I don't see you anymore?
Without you I'm lost.
I'm lost because your light no longer lights my path and it is just too dark.
The darkness, it consumes me like the pollution from it's factories consumes the city
And the darkness, it kills me like that pollution slowly kills all who inhabit the city
But don't fear my love, I've adapted to it for darkness is all I have ever known.
For so long I have thought that darkness is all there is left, that this is some slow horror movie played on a loop.
One where, spoil alert, I die in the end.
But when you came around and I got a glimpse of the glow radiating off your soul I saw that the grass may just be greener on the other side.
So, I always wander here and wait to be met with you again at night fall
Hopeing the pesky clouds don't get in between us again.
I will always come back
for you, my dear, are not only my moon but all of my stars.
