all ive ever wanted is a friend
i don’t like being alone.
i talk with the moon,
converse with the stars,
whether I hear an answer or not,
I know they listen.
but I never stay for long.
im afraid of the dark.
I never venture on cloudy nights,
or when i can’t see the moon.
I feel alone.
well.
Maybe not entirely alone.
But that is nothing to celebrate over.
I talk to the sun.
I tell my secrets and desires,
My fears.
And I know they listen.
Their every kiss is accounted for on my face with a freckle.
but the sun cannot stay forever.
It is dark again.
I can hear you.
I’m afraid.
So I run.
I speak to the ocean,
Ask for advice.
A question pounds against my head,
Uncannily similar to the waves against the shore.
What do I fear?
I’m under the stars again.
I tentatively call out,
And I see you.
You are different.
But is that really so bad?
As you draw nearer,
The fear grows.
But I think.
And I let go.
I take a step towards you.
And I see your soul.
It swirls around in vibrant colors,
Lighting up the night.
An aurora.
It’s beautiful.
I see you smile.
“Honestly,” I think.
“What was I so afraid of?”
