goodbye, moon

i was watching Apollo 13
with my girlfriend yesterday,
when i realized something
that completely blew me away.

we were cuddling close together,
her head lying on my chest,
when a thought entered my head
i could never hope to digest.

and it was this:
"you are the moon,"
i thought quietly,
whilst we spoon.

that orb in the sky,
the men could never reach,
was like a forbidden heart
i was never meant to breach.

as i watched them float by it,
in a void of space and time,
i knew i was with another now,
and you were only in my rhymes.
