Stay Wild, Moon Child
I felt my heart fall from my chest
Like a shooting star coming down to meet it’s untimely death
I wondered where it had gone
Where that star may have went
Since nothing else was shining in the night
I looked toward the moon instead
A grimace cratered her face
She wavered gently in my misty eyes resembling a disapproving shake
The heavens were against us
It is what it is, fate
I knew what I had to do
But this was never me falling out of love with you
I just can’t expect the stars to align the same twice
This wasn’t an excuse to walk away
I’d follow you like a planet in orbit
If the universe let me have my way
Those feelings we had for each other are somewhere out in space
not here on Earth where they should be
But so the moon stays,
Magnetically pulling me in the direction I should take
So stay wild, moon child
Don’t forget to smile
And don’t ever let that fire of yours tire
I wish I could mark this all up as simply a mistake
But you and I both know for that it’s way too late
