Just like the Moon


Oh my friend, oh my dear — you always make me happy. Your smile is as bright as the moon that shines so beautifully at night. Your eyes are like the thunder that crackles in stormy nights. I know your laugh is super loud — but still, we love to hear it, because all of it holds cherishment, love, and care for us. Your mind and heart are too pure for this world — and that's what we love. Your skills are too fair, as you use colors like feelings scattered across the page — a whole new feeling. So — will you be my best friend in every universe? Will you be my best friend until this world loses its sun.
