The Moon and Sun

I’ve been trying to sew the holes in my jeans

And I can feel things

I like you because you don’t hate everything

I look and feel an undying energy in you

I had to take some time to realize

Life didn't have to be so heavy

So here I am coming back to you

After all, it’s just life

I think we can share it

Or at least, let us pretend

So we can, for the first time, fathom the intention of our words

If you’ll join me

We can wait for the fading light

Let’s be beautiful creatures that distort the night

And we’ll wear constellations above our heads

If only for a little while, we can be present and savor

Let us pretend

The way it was before we grew tall

and shaved,

and loved,

and lost.
