the Moon

I was hoping to see you today.

But there was no sign of you anywhere.

I thought I would see you the next day,

but I didn’t.

I haven’t seen you in a while.

Where have you been for the past few days?

I miss you.

You made me feel safe.

You gave me a little bit of hope.

You would put a smile on my face.

I was sad.

Yeah, was.

I’m not anymore.

Because although I can’t see you, someone else can.

You’re probably making sure someone else is safe.

Because they need it.

You’re probably giving someone else hope.

Because they need it.

You’re probably giving someone else a smile.

Because they need it.

And how can I be sad knowing that.

Even though I don’t see you, someone else will.

Plus, I will always know you’re there.

I just can’t see you.

But you’re there.

This won’t be the last time I see you.

I know I’ll see you again.

I won’t give up hope.

I’ll keep looking out for you every night.

Goodnight Moon, see you later.
