It's just a phase, you say
the gathering darkness
the light is gone
and I'm afraidIt's just for a while, you say
the night is so empty
the sky bereft
you left, you went awayIt won't be long, you say
wondering, worrying, waiting
I count the days
hoping that you're okayIt's almost time, you say
yes, time has passed
we both have changed
that is the waySo long, Moon.
See you soon.
