Moonlight

Moonlight, what innocence.

You claim to love the world
Yet you show no love to those in it.

That’s what I thought.
That’s what I wanted to believe.

Then a change.
A change within the wind.

You looked at me.
And I was lost within your eyes.

Struck, you stared at the stars.
And I stunned, stared at the ground.
Until our eyes met again.

You slid your hand down my arm.
Then softly grasped my hand.

And I held on with everything I had.

The world was mine to behold.
Then you asked me to dance.

And we danced.
In the moonlight.

Then our eyes met again.
And I let go.

All I could say.
Is that I wished I’d never let go.

The this be your warning.
My final chance to warn you.
That next time I might not let go.

And this is for you.
I’m just sorry that I‘m not him.
But that I have to be the one to say.

I love you.
What love?
There be no innocence in love.
