So far, the singing auditions have been terrible.

Until the final audition.

But then this girl with blonde hair and beautiful brown eyes walks onto the stage.

"Hi, um," SCREEEEECH goes the microphone.

She adjusts the microphone.

"I'm going to be singing Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars."

And then she starts singing.

"I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back, I want you back
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I had, you're all I had
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh-oh
I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
'Cause when the sun goes down, someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back, oh
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Do you ever hear me calling?
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
'Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh-oh
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away."


When the girl finishes, she's wiping tears from her eyes.

"Well, yeah, that's it." The girl's about to walk off the stage but then I stand up.

"Let me escort you outside." 

The girl blinks in surprise but doesn't refuse.

"Hey, um, you're singing was beautiful." I say.

The girl blushes until she's red as a tomato.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"You can call me the Moonlark." She smiles sadly.

"Weird name." Ugh! I can't believe I said that.

The Moonlark chuckles. "Yes it is,"

When we reach outside, I'm running out of time. 

"Will I get to see you again?"

"Maybe."


And then I watch as the Moonlark walks off into the sunset.





Butterflies or moths?
