It must have been sometime before you dropped the lighter, and long before ‘why am I not enough?’, but it was an eternity after you looked at me with those eyes. And this I know, because the moon witnessed it all. She was there whenever you were, but especially when you weren’t; and she gave more than I ever could without expecting a thing in return and I wonder how it feels to have such a beautiful thing contain such disappointment from so far away. If I deserved it, any of it, whatever I’d done to fall short of the line behind which you safeguard your love— if I deserved it, the moon didn’t. submitted by billiefrechette.
