A moonlit moment

We watched the moon move in a slight curvature
And the Tower marked its travel.
It went so fast
I'd never seen it like that.

The Hip played on
Not too loud, but not too soft.
And we stood with a slight distance
between each other
and we watched in awe.

I saw you from my peripheral
Bobbing your head in that familiar comfortable way
We let the whole song play on like that
And I knew you felt it too.

That power struck right through us
That moment so very strange
That clarity that I believed
I would never know again.

And I felt so embarrassed
But I didn't understand why
And when I recollect it
The tears well in my eyes.

What was it about us
We could never really talk
Never say what we really felt
Or appreciate what was brought

And yes, I was right -
as I knew it to be true.
Never would I see again
that moon
in that light
with you.
