They say that the sun


They say that the sun loves the moon

So much

That he dies every day just to let her breathe.

 

They say that before you can love someone else,

You have to love yourself.

 

If I am the sun, you are the moon

Because it feels as if I am dying.

 

And if I am the moon,

Then you are the sun,

Because I have been suffocating forever,

Without even knowing it.

 

I never understood what yin and yang was before I met you,

And now I understand,

That I am half of a whole,

And if you are the sun shining bright,

Then I am the moon, destined to shine through you,
