Moonlight
I look up at the moon and am reminded of the light you have shone on me.
I remember the comforting glow of your smile that lit my way in my darkest of days. I feel that you would never give up on me and maybe that alone kept me fighting for something better; for a better life and to become a better person.
We'd never talk for more than a few hours yet I cherish every word you say. Every secret makes me feel I'm knowing you more. I'd take your hand if I could, and take it close to my heart and just listen to you, basking in your glow. You're different from everyone else because you seem to know how to play with my feelings. You make me feel weak while others make me feel strong. You can carelessly cut me and still make me like you.
I shared with you poems and quotes about love and how it meant for me, all the while hoping that you can read between the lines to see that I want you to see. I want to believe it's just a phase or infatuation yet it's very hard to doubt the feeling I get whenever I hear your voice or see your face. I really hope that it is a phase, I risk our friendship in being forward. Is it worth it? To give it a chance? Maybe not today, not tonight even if the moon is full and it seems like the perfect time. I have learned from my mistakes. I have scars to prove them.
You are the moon who shines my darkest night. . . but maybe that's all you really are. . .
