Me and you:

When I tell you I love you like the sun, When I tell you I love you like the moon,

When I tell you I love you like the stars.

I never have meant just in the way that you are beautiful. Because you are beautiful.

But when I tell you I love you like the stars,

I mean I love you in the way humans have looked towards them for guidance, for wishes, for stories.

I love you in the way humans will always reach and look and explore the stars above.

I love you in the way humans yearn to see in all their beauty. I love you in the way humans claw their way from the surface to see them just that little bit closer.

And when I say I love you like the sun. I don't just mean the light you provide, though it is beautiful.

I mean it in the way you help the flowers bloom,

I mean it in the way the way when I walk out from the shade and feel the warmth.

I love you In the way humans looks up to the sun despite the pain.

I love you the way humans see the sun as something wonderfully amazing.

I see you in the way humans will always stand in the light even if it hurts,

even if it burns and bites them. I love you in the stubborn way that humans will always love the sun.

So when I say I love you like the moon,

I'm sure you'll know then tune.

Because I love you and your not so mysterious dark side,

I love you in the way the moon tugs at the ocean, the waves.

I love you like the moon protects the earth will all her might.

I love you like the moon orbits the earth because the earth,

The humans, love the moon so much without it we'd be lost.

I love you like humans looks up at the moon each night watching as it moves, as it changed.

I love you like how humans uses their tools to take beautiful pictures of the moon and press their faces up against windows to see it better.

I love you like humans see the moon as protection and beauty, like the moon is someone not something.

So when I say I love you Like I love humans, I'm sure you'll understand. This poem was never about the sun, the moon or the stars it was us. It will always be us.
