sun and moon

we've always said we go together
a perfect match
you've always been my sun
i've always been your moon
the sun is bright
it shines so big the whole world can see
important in everyone's lives
the moon is bright too, in another way
a calmer way
a gentler glow
the perfect balance of each other
but the thing with the sun is
you get scorched if you're with her for too long
and she shines brighter than anything
with both her warming expression
and her fiery rage
the thing with the moon is
she's softer, subtler
still shining bright, just not as intense 
her glow radiates peace
but her sorrows wash over her like the tides
the sun and the moon
so similar, yet so different
they're both important 
in the sky at their own times
individually is perfect
but together would be too much
maybe that's how we are
perfect on our own,
but not together
