Conceit

You are the moon. 

I can only admire you from a distance 

Can only ever dream of seeing you close. 

I talk to you, and you never reply. 

To me you are the brightest being 

But you don’t see when with all the stars around you. 

They are prettier. 

I could have chosen the sun, but you are the only thing orbiting my mind all day.
