To the Moon and Back

Dear sister help me forget

Those days from so long ago

It never happened when we learned what we loved

We never got to build Rome

Impulsive actions make for years spent apart

Just improvising a life

Inviting strangers sharing warm anecdotes

Now please hand over the knife

The moon is so far and I cannot come back

From somewhere I’ve never been

No one to talk to and no sadness to trade

The red sun shines on your skin
