I fell in love with the moon

Like the night sky, he is beautiful

Mysterious and romantically dark

To look into his eyes is to glimpse at nothing but everything all at once

Within his irises is a galaxy

Nebulae and planets that you wish you could explore

And his smile

His smile is the moonlight

It is the cratered surface of the moon with a gleam strong enough to pull you in

It controls the tides inside you

Pushing and pulling

Taking over you

Body and soul

But the thing about the night sky is that

No matter how long you gaze up at it

You will never know for sure

If there is something looking back at you

I fell in love with the moon

But I forgot

I was just the ghost in his stars.
