The Moon and Her Midnight Star

If I could be your brightest moon
and you my midnight star,
I’d travel through the universe 
to meet you where you are.

All the other stars I’d leave
and follow you forever,
for never will I shine as bright 
as when we shine together.

That glinting twinkle in your eyes 
would set my face aglow,
sharing secrets of the galaxy 
you’ll burn for me to know.

When it’s time for us to find 
a hiding place to sleep,
near or far I’m where you are,
in space we choose to keep.

Be mine you see, your brightest moon
and you my midnight star…
I’ve traveled the whole universe 
to be here where you are.
