moonlight

you feel so far away. sometimes i lose hope and get discouraged but tonight when we spoke on the phone, as you were driving i told you, "get out of your car, find the moon and look at it." a few mumbles and an opening car door later you said, "ok i see it, why?" and as i took in the moment i said to him "forget your surroundings, forget the phone you're holding, just look at the moon and hear my voice, and know that we are closer." silence followed... "but you're still hundreds of miles away," he said. "yes but it doesn't matter because in this moment we are together, looking at the same moon." we stood in silence, staring, breathing, waiting, hoping. "you know i love you, right?"
