she was a moon

i was the little girl who believed it followed me

she was glamour, love and comedy

but ever evolving

crescent or full - i remained unaware

her company was comfort and reassurance

compassion and love

but the moon said goodnight

and i was not ready for an evening kiss

goodnight kisses were reoccurring

until the little girl realised that

she was following the moon

and for the little girl,

this was her final goodnight.
