Sun and Moon

The sun and the moon will always be connected but almost never together, because the moon likes to keep her distance. The sun does her work for all to see but the moon gets to do hers judgement free. And everyone loves the sun when she paints the sky but never when she stares at them for too long, they get burned by her affection. But the moon’s never done anything wrong, not that anyone’s aware of. She can glance as long as she likes, she just may not get many returning gazes. Only from those dreading to see the sun again. And the sun doesn’t know, but the moon grows jealous of her light because even stars outshine her. People who do look at the moon think she’s beautiful, and the waves crawl up the shore just to be closer to her. But she doesn’t think so. She thinks they’re just too far away to tell. All they see is the sun in small doses, but never her. It’s fine, she prefers to be peripheral. The sun loves her because she sees herself in the moon, but she hates her for being so cold and distant. They’re never together for longer than a moment. If she stays far enough away, no one will find what she’s hiding.
