Darling you were the moon,
I have seen you hiding behind the clouds—
Shy crescent smile, dimmed and innocent.
When you showed your other half, I swore the town lighted up in delight.
And I swore the stars looked better with you around.
But, God, when you were whole—in all your glory, all bright and beautiful,
You conquered the whole town—all eyes on you.
And the wolves, they all howled for you.
The stars and the planets were outshone,
They got nothing on you.
Darling, the night sky was made for you to shine;
in all kind of forms you saw fit.
And I have loved you,
Through every form and phase of you.
I have loved you,
Even when you were nowhere to be seen.
Even when the sun took you away from me.
I have loved you,
In the silence of nights.
I have loved you,
In my loneliness and sorrow.
I have loved you,
In past tense.
