The Moon

I haven't seen you in what feels like a century

I have nothing to talk to besides the moon, it doesn't talk back, it just stares.

It watches me sleep and hugs me with its light.  

I miss you

I miss your morning calls, and voice mail messages telling me to "have a good day pumpkin". 

I know you are happy with them, but I need to see you.

I am heading off to college soon, and with your disease I won't be able to hear you say-

"I love you." 

That needs to be heard on days like these...not to sound selfish.

I need to see the person who gave me a beating heart.  

I love you 

I love you because your blood runs through my bloodstream.

And that is what's keeping me whole.
