Why do I stare at the moon
hoping that you are staring at it too,
when I know that your eyes will never adjust to the light that seeps through your bedroom window?

Why do I measure the size of the moon with my fingertips,
scratching away the edges,
and feel the need to compare it to way you make me feel?
