do you see it?
look up real high
nope bigger
do you see it?
keep looking at it
just a little longer
for the first time
I'm looking at something
at the exact same time you are
and that something isn't
behind a screen
it's real
a real object
in a real world
that even a thousand miles away
from each other
we can still look at
together
I really do love you
all the way from me
to that moon
then back to you
it reflects the light
why can't it do the same for love?
I love that moon
almost as much as I love you
expression is hard
and I'm doing it the way I know best
I wanted you to see love
but it's hard with you so far away
the moon was a good opportunity
"then I will look at the moon more often"
please do
maybe sometimes I'll look right back
do you get it now?
that I love you
that the moon loves you
those stars too
but out of all those things
I love you more than they ever could
"one say I'll be able to express it too"
but you did
and I was okay with the way you did it
it was not better but different
because we are different
and that's all part of
our perfect world
