Coexistence

I often look at the sky
during the day.
And I wonder to myself,
how is the moon still out while the sun is?

The moon only comes out at night,
doesn't it?

Setting my elbows on my knees,
I glance at the blue sky,
turn to the right and stare at the pale moon.
I turn to the left,
blinded by the beaming sun.
If the sun and the moon are supposedly opposites,
how can they both be existent simultaneously?

The sun doesn't appear at night,
right?

Now lying on my back,
I can see both the sun and the moon without having to turn my head.
Simply watching the two celestial objects in the blue sky,
it makes me think about their similarity.

The sun is round,
and so is the moon.
They're both levitating in the sky,
so high that I wish I could fly.
The sun and the moon,
they're both such a spectacular sight.
I feel at ease just seeing this view.

Closing my eyes
gradually,
I slip my hand around yours.
And I think to myself,
you and I, we're not so different after all.
A sudden thought comes to my mind,
you're my sun
and I am your moon.
We both shine in our own ways,
at our own times.

If the sun and the moon coexist,
then so can we.
We’ll always have our differences,
our similarities, and our
coexistence.
