some nights
if i'm lucky
the moon is my pale companion
she rests on my bed
a whisper on my cheek
and i'm not so lonely
some nights
if i'm luckier
she brings me dreams of you
she brushes back my hair
and tells me it's okay
to love the past
as long as i don't sit in it forever
some nights
she doesn't show her lovely face
when i ask her
where she was
and why she left
she says
my darling
i watch over you
but stars need not
the reflection of another to shine
you too
must shine alone some nights
the problem is
on those nights
i feel your shadow beside me
you kiss my cheek
but your lips are cold
i question
if i was ever more
than the reflection of your light
some nights
some nights
i wish on the stars
for another chance
to dance among them with you
