I Wish I Was The Moon
Everlasting And Eternal
oh, to travel the paths that you’ve blazed
setting the scene for the love songs we’ve made
even holding the constellations in your gaze
and all of the dreams and promises proclaimed
I wish that I could be more like you
cause everybody wants to be with the moon
whether falling in love or just feeling blue
the universe continually, before you swoons
I wish I could dance, carefree on the river
the way that you do, without stirring up ripples
to have the quiet power to make a lover’s heart quiver
but nothing about love is ever that simple
I wish that could hang on the clouds in the sky
and see what you see, from the view of your eyes
to find peace in knowing although everyone dies
there is pure joy in the thought, that there are no goodbyes

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Beautifully written.
This is such a beautiful poem! It really captures that feeling of looking up to someone and wishing you could be as effortlessly amazing as they are. The way you talk about the moon and the river makes your admiration so clear.
There’s a tender humility in the speaker’s voice. The repeated “I wish” creates a gentle ache admiration turning into quiet yearning.
Lovely poem, Kelli. I could feel the sense of longing.
Well-wrought, Kelli! Never that simple, indeed!
