letters to the moon
14 may 2020
dear moon,
i have always found solace in your presence,
in the way you're always present at night,
in the way you're always shining proudly,
almost like a beacon of light in the pitch darkness.
i remember when i was all alone in a playground,
filled to the brim with kids i didn't know,
i would always look up to the sky and spot you up there,
i'd run around and hide in places,
then peek back up to find you looking back to me.
i remember waking up at night and feeling lonely,
i'd go out of my room and sit next to a window from where i can spot you,
you'd make the sky that looked like
an endless pit of darkness
pulse with a luminous blue,
it showed me that even the darkest of nights,
can be illuminated by a glowing orb.
i remember staring intensely at the way you shone,
wondering if you were just as lonely as i am,
i'd have full fledged conversations with you in my mind,
then i'd wonder later if we could have been communicating,
i'd wonder if you could feel what i carry in my heart.
after all,
i'll never be able to find another human that understands me fully,
so i thought i'd shoot my shot with you,
since you've been my friend for a while now,
what if you understood my heart, but i just couldn't hear you?
yours truly,
an earthling.
~r.
