This is the part of the day I wait for the most.

When the sun is about to bid its goodbye,

For the moon to meet us and greet us, "Hi!"

Remember when you met me on this coast?

I am bleeding heavily like how the sun does,

When the moon takes over, calling it "night."

Pampering the place with my luminescence,

you blend your light; it produces iridescence.

Until now, I'm still pinning you with this image of the sky;

Resembling your innocence, I cannot help but wonder—

How can you be a thought that I will forever ponder?

I want to seek the reason that lies under,

I witness the sky undress,

Yet it still feels like a mystery as it is.

I've been descrying you as tainted,

So how can we just be acquainted?

As the fuse of solar and night breezes hugs my body,

The urge to find you within the clouds rises.

We share the same view of the sky;

We both adore its ethereality and want to be part of it.

I am perplexed about you the same way I feel about the ether—

The truth that lingers on the other end;

Is it heaven or the dead end?
