You came home one day carrying a few bottles.

Telling me a few words;

"Angel, demon, or human, we have no long life until we die; why not drink with me to celebrate the moon?"

I remember joining him.

We both sat in bed;

Staring out the window up at the large moon.

I remember studying you.

Smooth dark skin with silky blond hair;

Your light blue eyes reflecting the moon as you looked at it with wonder and delight.

You had the hiccups and tried to stop it;

We laughed about it until you turned to me for guidance.

I was drunk;

I should've stopped you.

You had problems breathing for weeks;

Swaying around the house and grabbing your throat with blood dripping down your lips everytime you coughed.

I did not like the moon after that.

I hated myself, too.

I never tasted your lips after that again.

Even though you wanted it even more.

You still loved the moon even then.
