i love you in the morning 

when the moon is still showing up 

in the brightening sky 

i love you in the sunset 

when the moon sometimes 

makes an early appearance

i love you in the dead of night

when the moon is high above

i love you in the darkness

when the moon is new

i love you even when we can’t see her

when the moon is asleep and the sun 

takes her place

i love you despite the phase

like the moon, you too go through phases 

one day you are this 

the next, that 

i love you still, through it all 

i hope you love me too 

through the phases 

like the moon
