you said if I could be anything I would be the moon

back before I understood gratitude
did you know I spent an entire cycle
feigning sleep along the edge of your bed
just willing your body to rest against my shadows?
on the 28th day when you came to me
it was the perfect goodbye
I wonder if you hear me now
after 9 years have grown by
do you hear me?
I am saying hello

i was anticipating a downer ending for this one, but it did a flip and turned out to be a song of gratitude, touched with a wistful smile and a brand new hello.
i’m still shaking my head at how you made that turn. another fine piece, cinnette.
