juliet nicholle,

       Our first conversation
            is my own personal mixtape
            that keep at the back of my
            mind, playing all the time.

                                           { s i l e n c e }

                                ~

❝ h i . ❞

                                                ❝ h e l l o .❞

❝ why are you

        s t a r i n g

       at the moon? 

                                              { s m i l e s }

❝ you seem awfully

       inspired by its

       brilliance.

                                  ❝ and you seem to

                                     be equally

                                     inquisitive.

{ l a u g h s }

                              ❝ what's so amusing? ❞

                

you . ❞

                                 ❝ i beg your pardon?❞

❝ the moon is just

      as fickle as any

           young lover,

     don't you think?

                                                        ❝ no . ❞

{ grins }

                                         ❝ i'm making a
                                              promise by
                                           its dim light. ❞

how
   u n c e r t a i n.

                                   ❝don't you

                                      wonder what i'm

                                             wishing for?

no . ❞

                                   { raises eyebrows }

the moon, she

       c h a n g e s

         constantly,

   don't you think?

                                 just like any of us. ❞

so why

       s w e a r

                   by it?

                                 because i have

                                    faith  that she

                                    will  listen,

                                                  at least.

                                    she owes me that

                                    much, since i sing

                                      to her every day. ❞

              {  then she began to hum
                   melodies, closing her eyes.
                   and i immediately realized
                             that she is the moon.   }
