The sun is overwhelming.
It kisses my skin and puts a twinkle in my eye, but it burns me.
The sun should learn from the moonlight.



Moonlit Nights

The moonlight does it right.
The moonlight lights up a smile brighter than the sun ever could.
The moonlight creates silhouettes against the starry backdrop of a summer night.

The best things happen beneath the moonlight.
Skinny dipping on a warm summer night with your best friends.
Embracing a neighborhood boy in the middle of the street and sealing it with a kiss.
Laying by a pond sharing whispered secrets with a new found love.
The warmth from the neighborhood boy, filling you with love and kisses and hope for a better tomorrow.

But the worst things happen beneath the moonlight too.
Broken hearts as the guy you pined for picks a different girl.
Tears shed at the top of a hill while you wait for a friend to walk you home.
Shouted fights as you fall for the wrong guy. Again.
Touching lips with a guy you know you shouldn't.

Yet the moonlight makes everything more beautiful.
Things become black and white, so much clearer.
