Sun and Moon

Perched atop her bike, riding through the back roads, a young aspiring photographer noticed the distant look that captured the distant moon. 

Alone, she sat. 

"Moon," she yelled, "why does my heart feel like this? I don't understand." 

Moon peered down at her. 

Crisscross-applesauce, she sat it the perfectly cut, slightly wet grass. 

Still Moon looked at her.  

"Moon! Stop looking at me, and help me. Help me understand!" 

Moon said nothing. 

"My heart aches Moon. I miss him. I miss the way things were when he was around. The distance is getting to me and I just can't handle it anymore. He is so far away. He changed me, Moon. He tore down all the walls that once built themselves inside my heart. He tore down what no one else could. I need him. My heart aches for him. Moon, I think I love him, but the distance makes it impossible."

Moon gently raised his voice

 "Young one, its hard. Each night I chase my one and only love, Sun. I glide through the sky so, we can spend those few minutes spread in different corners the sky, together. She sits miles and miles away. I travel around the world, anxiously awaiting the moment when the light she generously gives to the world, can be seen by my eyes."

"But Moon, how do you make it through the day, doesn't your heart long to see Sun?" the girl quietly said.

"Of course, everyday and every night my heart desires to share the sky with Sun. When I think I can no longer endure to the moment when I see her, I think. I think of all the beautiful things she gets to see. Even though she is on the other side of the world, I know that eventually, we will be together again. Sometimes I wait weeks, even months to see her, but I always see her."

 "Moon, I think I understand. When I miss my love, and my heart aches to be near him, if I just think of all the things he is learning and getting to experiance, it will pass the days away, and make the sting of being away less painful. I just have to remember that because of the love we share, we will always see each other." 

Moon smiled down.
