My Friend The Moon

When everyone was asleep I crept outside to see,
to see my friend the moon. When he saw me he shone his rays
of light upon me so I could dance throughout the night
beneath him; my friend the moon. I was always told
that there were two sides to everyone, you just didn’t see the second one;
but for my friend the moon he had only one side to him,
his brightest side which he shone upon me every night.
My friend the moon waited for me each night hidden
behind the trees and the clouds for he knew I liked to play.
My friend the moon knew all my secrets and I knew his.
He was my friend, my friend the moon.
