A lot of times when I can't sleep,
I get out of bed and breath in deep.
I open my window or step outside, and all at once everything disappears.
I'm at peace without my fears.
I stare at the moon and the comfort I feel,
Is the same comfort I felt encased in your arms; real.
I remember a teacher although I can't recall which one,
Telling us how people look at the moon when they miss a loved one.
It brings them a comfort no one can illustrate.
To know that there lover is staring at the same landscape.
The moon and the stars, he sees them too.
When I see them I can't help but think of you.
No matter how far away we are,
Always know that you're my guiding star.
I still love you and I always will.
But for tonight, I take a sleeping pill.
Staring at the same sky as you gives me goosebumps.
I think of what we had and how we couldn't get over the bumps.
No pun intended, no wait that's a lie.
It's time I stop my sniffling and just have a good cry.
You were and are THE guy.
The one, my rhyme, my reason.
I miss you holding me in every season.
I scream at the moon as I try to close my eyes.
I imagine you showing up at my door with flowers, grinning, "surprise".
I wake up feeling grand.
But all of that stops when I realize you aren't holding my hand.
Tonight, I will look at the moon just for you.
After all these years, I still know our love is true.
The moon gives me the comfort that you no longer can.
I hope one day you respond to this like a man.
Yes, that was a challenge, and it's one you should accept.
For almost 3 years, for you I have wept.
I love you with my whole heart, I will say to the sky.
I hope one day you get the message and remember and give it a try.
Sometimes late at night I write your name.
It feels so foreign, so weird, so strange.
But it brings me comfort to write to you.
I'll keep doing it till I'm 72.
And even then, I'll keep up my letters confessing my love.
But for tonight, I stare at the sky above.

For you
No FicciónA collection of poems I wrote during and after my first relationship. I spent 5+ years working on this, and I apologize for any spelling/grammatical errors, but I wanted to leave everything as it was originally written.
