Till We Grow Older

Go on, be brave.

I held your hand besides the still waters

Ever so loving you rejoice

As the leaves burn and the air grows frigid

The warmth of our hands held us together

Like moth to flame we are inseparable

Even the nocturnal obsidian will not cut us apart

You stare at me, eyes so young and lovely

I remember when you first kissed me

As we are surrounded by the envious trees

The gray moon looked down upon us in wonder

You asked her if she was lonely.

Yes, she told you.

Then you looked upon me and kissed me with your hyacinth lips.

You made Luna jealous, I say

And we made a promise to stay the same

And you held on, a promise to never change

as the moons pass our promise held.

I looked upon your wrinkly eyes

Such young, beautiful eyes

I held your hand as Luna looked down upon us again.

She smiles as she sees us

Still the same, she says.

Your smile lit up the world like fireflies on the open fields

I took your hand and kissed it

A promise to never change.

Then we sat upon the flame of a dying campfire

An ode  to Luna that one day we will join her among the stars.

I still cry whenever I see your face, my love

The envy of stars has become of you

While you're up there tell this to Luna will you?

That she wait for  me up there.

For now your ghost haunts me.

The memory of you.

Yet somehow, you are the only ghost in my life that I do not  fear.
