I named the moon after you
and taught it how to glow
so when I'm no longer earthbound
you'll still feel what I know
When my footsteps fade from soil
and my pulse is out of sight
I will trade my bones for silver
and become your quiet light
If you ever should forget me
if my name slips from your tongue
the moon will keep repeating it
in a language old and young
If you ever choose to leave me
turn your heart another way
I will not unlearn your shadow
I will not unlove the day
I will find you in the midnight
in the hush between your breaths
in the spaces where the dark begins
and fear dissolves to rest
Do not grieve the sky above you —
I am not so far away
I am folded in the starlight
I am silver on your way
Even if you do not want me
even if you close the door
I will know the roads you wander
I have loved you evermore
I named the moon after you
so the night would understand
how it feels to hold forever
what it cannot always stand
Look up when you feel lonely
Let the pale light find your face
I will love you past all leaving
past all time, past all space
(2026)
DU LIEST GERADE
Love in the longest Night
