Near

You are the sun to my moon,
I can stand on my own,
Survive on my own,
But I am only bright when you are near.

You are the sun to my moon,
I revolve for you,
Transfer radiance for you,
But I am only light when you are near.

You are the sun to my moon,
I want to get closer.
Soak up all your rays,
But your heat overcomes me when I am near.

You are the sun to my moon,
Your flames tickle,
Fire engulfs me,
But I must feel what it is like for you to be near.

You are the sun to my moon,
You have destroyed me.
I will never be the same,
But I must stay in orbit, where you are near.
