You and I and Indelible Winter

Indelible Winter by Elizabeth Kauma

You and I

by Jordyn Koontz

You are like the Moon

Pure and Glowing

Nothing can snuff out your light

Not even the clouds can hold back your shimmer.

You say I am like the Sun

Fierce and Brave

You say no one can out shine me

That I have a powerful yet beautiful presence.

I see things differently than you.

You are too innocent for me,

Just like the Moon is for the Sun.

I destroy everything I touch,

Just like the Sun is for the Moon.

No matter how dark everything is,

You illuminate the good.

No matter how bright everything seems,

I cast shadows everywhere I go.

If you are the Moon and I the Sun,

How can we ever see eye to eye?

We can’t.

You and I aren’t fated to be together,

Just like the Sun and the Moon are always destined

To be apart
