The Moon

The moon is beautiful, isn’t it? And the stars shine so brightly tonight. Just like I once did, I used to be so beautiful. But then you came into my life, uninvited. I had thought the goddess Selene was giving me a gift, a true prize. I had once believed you were what my life rotated around, my purpose to live. Look at me, won’t you? Am I not as precious as you said I was? Please look at me, my love, if you could just look at me it would be enough. I could give you my entire galaxy if you look at me. No… you only see her now. Is she your star? Is that why you ended my love story so soon? For her? I suppose that’s fine, in the end, that is all I wanted. I just wanted to see the stars in your eyes and your bright smile. Even if it’s not for me. I just want to watch the stars with you one last time. And maybe then it would be enough. Your eyes and smile will always be a reminder of what was.
