It sits high in the sky and only shines its brightest

When no one is around

What is it feeling? Is it even feeling?

It looks sad up there all alone

The stars are there but all too far

It watches as the world slows down 

The second it comes out

People go away

Does that hurt its feelings?

But does it even have feelings?

A sad drop of water falls from the sky

The moon is crying

He watches as people go away

He wonders if they'll ever stay

Another drop falls

One lonely night 

He catches a glimmer of hope

A couple, laying down on the pier

Smiling back up at the moon 

As he smiles down at them.
