Like The Moon Loved The Sun

I don't think you understand

I love her more than anything

I love her in such a unique and special way

My love can never be copied or stolen

I love her like the Moon loves the Sun

Admiring from afar

Not able to kiss, Not able to touch

I love her like the shore loves the ocean

Waiting day and night for her return

But in the same way that the Sun will never return the Moon's affections

And the same way that the Ocean leaves and comes back and then leaves once more

She does not love me

She does not sit and write poems about me as I do for her right now

She does not admire from a far, hoping to catch a glance

She does not anticipate my return

And I realize only now

Only in writing this

I need to give her up
