just because you saw the moon first doesn't mean its yours. even if you've landed on it or carved your name on its surface, it's still no guarantee. well not unless the moon winked at you and relinquished its rightful place in the heavens. which i dont see happening in this lifetime or the next. so what's the point really?
nothing. i've always associated the moon with things or people i could never have. thats why i used to write lots of moon poems back in college, it was like a tribute, an offering to the gods that be to let me have this one wish. i did have it eventually but only in borrowed time. and the price i had to pay was far too much for what i bargained for. the moon took it back all too soon and left me with what i started with. which was nothing really.
today i feel like another star was plucked from my sky. yes i saw it first, but so what? if i were the only person on this hill i could own it and say its mine, none would be the wiser. but im not the only person on this hill, and my star is too brilliant to stay in the night sky unnoticed. im selfish. i dont want to share it, so i'm letting it go. maybe i'll find another spot and chart a comet or something, i just dont want to see that dream anymore, it breaks my heart everytime. and i hide my feelings too well, i dont even know it but im actually bleeding.
goodbye my orion, you've served your purpose, you once were that one bright spot in my otherwise dull existence. thank you for being exactly that. i couldnt ask for more.
