Love
The star gazed at the moon
On the night of all nights
Knowing it did not belong to him
Yet she glowed in his light
He paled in the sun’s presence
But it bothered her not
No life he sustained
But her eyes, only he, sought
In him she saw her truth
He let her be her
She discovered her true self
Under his soothing touch
The sweet pangs of separation
When the others vouched for
She knew he would be by her side
As eternities by them stride
Love is not just getting lost
It’s finding one self too
As space is one side of love
Is not companionship love too?
