You are my thousand moons

I am not good at love poems, 
they begin in my head,
try to stand, then falter.

Still, I learned
that somewhere in the dark
there are a thousand moons
we never see,
because one insists on shining.

It made me think of you, 
how your love is the brightest thing,
how it eclipses
all the quiet parts no one notices.

But I do.

And it is not only your love
that makes me love you
it is all of those hidden lights.

You are my thousand moons.
