Take Me to the Moon

Take Me to the Moon

Find me a boy

who will travel the world with me

and at the end

he will say I was the best thing he saw.

He will be kind

and give me everything I want

even though

I ask for absolutely nothing.

Beneath the stars,

he will recite Shakespeare

and sing

while looking into my eyes.

When sad,

he will be there to dry my tears

without me

having even to call upon him.

He will spend hours

playing with me in the snow

and only after;

will he say that he is freezing?

Will he go fishing?

And as the sun sets we will swim.

And on the sand,

he will ask me where I want to go.

He will hold my hand

and I will tell him as the sun goes down,

“Take me to the moon”

and, smiling, he will say yes.

He will tell me

that we will look at earth from above

and never

will we be separated from each other.

Find me this boy,

for I have searched everywhere

to no prevail.
