I looked at the moon, but it was empty.
With the stars beside it, I counted twenty.
That was how many times I groundlessly fell.
But today, I courageously stood tall.
The night hid behind the silhouette of my broken heart.
But the moonlight slipped through its cracks.
Just like those memories that I keep on abandoning,
Its scars always remind me of how I lost myself on the track.
You looked at me, but I was empty.
I looked back at you expressionlessly.
But yes, you smiled
And gave me your whole world, undoubtedly.
Now, I wasn’t alone anymore, deep in my thoughts.
You and I together, sharing the love we both caught.
Though the cracks were still unforgiven,
The smiles I had, are now free again.
I looked at the moon, and it’s now overflowing.
The happiness it contains reflects how we keep on fighting.
With the stars beside it, in you, I found an epiphany.
Who loved not just me but also the past I can’t completely forget.
