Selenophile

Dear Moon,

I've discovered there's a name for me.

Selenophile
(n) Someone who loves the moon.

It fits me perfectly.

I do love you, why wouldn't I?

When dad left, I also lost mum, mentally.

So I've became alone, until I began to talk to you.

Yes, I know you're just a giant ball of rock floating in space, but somehow you understand me.

I'm probably just delusional.

I write all this down so one day someone will read this and see the harsh truth.

I'll probably be long gone by then though.

Love Ashley.
