Talking To The Moon

I don't have time today,

I want to remember when your face was as memorable as my hands

I want to go back to when reaching for you was the hardest thing I had to do because if I reached far enough I knew I would always find you

I miss automatically always trying to find you if I felt you were too far away

But I don't have time today

A walk in your direction these days weighs too heavy on my heart and I'm afraid I won't come back standing

Both feet to greet but they say to always keep one grounded

I think about meeting you in outer space but the sun is shining so bright I can't see your stars

Sometimes I feel like I just wanna get drunk to see stars

Your gifts shine like sun rays dancing off metal objects and I can't help but want to dance with you

I know, when I wake up, that my place is among the people

And so I stay grounded for you and pray that one day I will be enough for your universe so maybe we could dance together again

Right now though, I'm taking my time, one day at a time, reminding myself of my place.

This is me

Talking to the moon.
