moonlight pours through the window into my open arms.

“i missed you more than usual today,” she says, her body pressed against mine.

she rests a hand on curve of my jaw and leans in, my light refracting off all the walls in our room.

when her lips touch mine, i feel the glow with my eyes closed. she whispers to me and shivers run down my spine.

fate brought us together but it’s not what keeps her coming back. we are a perfect balance of light and dark; the sun and the moon.

though, this won’t last forever. when she leaves again i am alone on the floor, clinging to anything i find that reminds me of what we could be. i never know whether she’ll return until she’s here, back in my arms, holding on tight.
