Falling in Love with the Moon

In love with the full moon.
Big. Strong. Deep. Beautiful. Stealing my breath.
Everything gets washed away
Because like the man with meatball eyes
and spaghetti hair, I am home.
Existence? Reality? Irrelevant.
It could not be more perfect.
Eternal bliss... and then...
In a moment where I search for your kiss...
I see how far we were from eternity
In a second, you're taken from me.
I'm left here, broken, yearning for your touch
saddened by the distance, pained at how much.
With every night comes a crescent moon
and slivers of emotion shine through
but it's never been the same for me and you...
Until I see another full moon,
everything rushing back in,
With you, I can not lose,
but with our distance, I can not win.
Innocent and hopeless I fall for you again.
As the year cycles round
both as crescents and in full
you shimmer through my life
and I wouldn't have to bear it
if I didn't love the night.

I'll be honest in saying that I don't often read other people's poems because I usually don't enjoy it, but this is definitely an exception. I will continue reading.
