The coloured leaves tumbled onto the ground,
As your jade blue eyes looked into my hickory brown ones,
You hugged me tight,
And smiled at me with that gorgeous smile of yours.
But after dozens of embraces and warm smiles,
The space between us began to grow.
Soon I was on the moon,
And you were a million miles back down on earth.
We grew ourselves a garden to communicate,
You handed me flowers and I would plant them.
After a while you began to hand me petals,
But I wanted you to give me a flower.
A petal doesn't have roots and I don't have you anymore.
You had suddenly became a storm to me,
Your eyes were the violent waves that crashed onto my sandy shore.
I grew terrified of you and I started to fear your words,
The way they left my throat dry,
My chest heavy,
And my heart shattered.
Even if you struck me with anxiety,
I was still drawn to you.
Why is it that I still seem to want you,
Even after all this time and distance,
I hold onto the thought of you.
Remembering how your presence used to comfort me,
Or how you looked like an angel.
Finally I flew back down to earth,
It felt like it had been forever since the grass grazed my feet.
I was hesitant to look around not because of how long I had been gone,
But because of you.
Then I spotted you,
The only difference was that you and I had grown older.
You smiled that porcelain smile of yours again like you used to,
And we hugged for the first time in what felt like years.
Everything felt out of place for me but I was glad to hold you in my arms,
Inhaling your sweet scent.
I had to return back to the moon but the days weren't as long,
Slowly you began to give me flowers again,
The distance is still too much to bear but at least I get to hear from you.
But I will always ask myself,
Why are you so inevitable to me,
And why is it that I always slip back into you.
I might never understand the pull you have on me,
Like the moon is gravitated to the earth,
But I will always come running to you when it becomes too much.
