Trust in me that you will be okay.

Trust in me that I will keep you safe.

Sink into my arms and speak.

I will soak up all your troubles and worries.

 As long as you stay wrapped up in this warmth created from tousled bodies and unexplainable anxiety underneath your twinkling stars that scatter like moondust through the sky.

Just stay here a little while longer,

 for me.

Te Amo, mi luna.

I lie awake at night, disheveled when you are away.

I think about your smile and if you have enjoyed your day. 

I wonder if you’ve eaten.

I wonder if you’ve dared.

Did you remember to breathe a little easier knowing that someone somewhere still cares?

Just think about our nights a little while longer,

for me. 

Te extraño, mi luna.

Secretly I am jealous.

I can not spend every waking moment with you.

I think about the people who get to see you elsewhere,

and it makes me both happy and sad.

I feel embarrassed because I want to tell you that I want you all to myself.

I want to tell you that I have liked you since the very first time we met.

You opened your mouth and sang to me sweet, sweet melodies.

Melodies of lovesick words and sprinkles of serendipity.

And I was filled with viridity.

¿Sientes lo mismo por mí, mi luna?

Could this be kalopsia,

but I feel lopsided when I’m with you. 

 I have never cared for the straight and narrow ever since. 

I am scared that one day you will wake up and discard me.

I am scared that you won’t want to hold me close.

One day you may not reach out for my touch in the middle of the night when the winter air has crept in, and unconsciously you know that I am close but not near. 

One day you may not look at me with those sparkling yet halcyon brown eyes that gaze with so much longing for something beyond your reach.

One day you may not grip me with so much purpose and intent the way you always do.

No te vayas, mi luna.

I trust that you will be okay.

I trust that you will keep me safe.

I have taken the role of a sponge to soak up your troubles and worries.

I want to make your days a little easier.

I want to make your days a little lighter.

I remember to breathe constantly for the both of us, even when you beg vigorously for this to be your last breath.

My longer nights are indebted to you.

I wish for you to stay a little while longer.

Just for me,

para mi luna.
