“You are moonlight,” I told him
Present and dependable
Calming above all else
The peace it brings knowing it will be there tonight
Even if nothing else will
The moon is not often showy
It is humble 
Orbiting Earth
Letting her steal the show
Shining as a backlight
But with an irresistible pull
Whole or partial 
Even when it cannot be seen
It is felt
It is powerful
It is unstoppable 
There is no such thing as too much moonlight 
You cannot burn from it
It will not blind you
It just lights the way
It guides baby turtles home
It is in every bedtime story
It is stalwart 
And steady
It is not fickle
Or vain
Moonlight is romantic
And I feel the pull now
To just let it
Where would I go
What would I do
Drown
In the things I cannot say
In the daylight
We must wait for the moon
And the moon 
Will wait for us
