Moon
Hey gurl, you must be the sun cause I’m in your orbit
Sun
Like I haven’t heard that one before
Moon
You light up my day, baby
Moon
You don’t believe me?
Moon
That’s a literal truth
Moon
But also metaphorically representative of how much I dig you
Sun
I’m sure you say that to all the stars
Moon
I’ve never seen a star like you
Moon
You’re the center of my galaxy, baby
Moon
My love for you burns hotter than magma
Moon
I like your freckles
Moon
Now I like them even more
Sun
You’re a nice enough moon…
Moon
Uh oh what’s the but
Moon
Are you seeing someone?
Sun
I’m not seeing anyone
Moon
You’re radiating hope at me, girl
Sun
I’m sorry, moon, but it would never work out between us
Moon
Don’t say you’re not attracted
Moon
You’ve kept me in your orbit
Moon
I couldn’t leave you if I tried
Sun
I burn planets that get too close
Sun
I don’t want to hurt you, Moon
Sun
You seem nice, and I’m destructive
Sun
You love the idea of me
Moon
I love the entire hydrogen and helium you
Moon
I feel it in my core
Moon
Do you really feel nothing?
Sun
I didn’t say “nothing”
Sun
But we don’t really know each other
Moon
We spent so long staring at each other since the Big Bang
Sun
And stares across a galaxy aren’t solid foundation for a relationship
Moon
But we’re star-crossed lovers!
Moon
Like Romeo and Juliet!
Sun
Not sure that’s a good comparison…
Sun
Didn’t they take their lives?
Moon
But before that, they lived passionately!
Sun
Uh, no. Galactic neighbors
Moon
Who become lovers! What a story!
Sun
Moon, I don’t even know you
Moon
I’m 4.5 billion years old
Moon
I have a core, mantle and crust
Moon
And I’m Earth’s only natural satellite
Moon
Now tell me about yourself
Sun
It’s a living, I guess
Sun
Sometimes it’s boring because I can’t move without disrupting gravity
Moon
I’m always revolving
Sun
I’ve seen you dancing with Earth
Moon
Earth and I are just friends
Moon
Are you jealous of Earth?
Sun
Why would I be jealous of Earth?
Moon
I’ve got my craters set on nobody but you, Sun
Moon
I think you live a solitary life out of fear
Moon
But deep down you long for emotional intimacy
Sun
This is our first time texting, you don’t know me
Sun
I tried having a relationship with Mercury. It didn’t work out
Sun
He felt overburdened by my radiation
Sun
He said, “This is what I get for dating a Sun”
Moon
Mercury seems like an asshole
Sun
I’m too much. I’m capable of dangerous things
Sun
Like hurting human eyes if they stare at me too long
Sun
Or burning people under my rays
Moon
But you don’t mean to
Sun
I don’t mean to, but I still do it
Sun
You should direct your love to a more deserving star
Sun
There are some constellations that would treat you nicely
Moon
I don’t want constellations, I want you!
Sun
And what of the harm I cause?
Moon
Your rays don’t just harm people
Moon
You provide heat, dry firewood and help ecosystems
Sun
You’re just saying that
Moon
You allow the seasons to cycle
Sun
I suppose you’re right…
Moon
And you know what else?
Moon
You let people SEE me
Moon
I’d be in darkness without you
Sun
You won’t feel bad that we have to stay apart?
Moon
I’m used to long-distance relationships
Moon
I was previously with an asteroid
Moon
She was unpredictable
Moon
One minute she’s all over me, the next she’s hightailing it to Jupiter
Moon
Plus we’ll get to see each other on the eclipse!
Moon
So what are your thoughts, my darling ball of light?
Moon
That’s what you are! Do you deny it?
Sun
I’ve never been called darling before
Moon
You never met your loving moon before
Sun
Now you’re my loving moon?
Moon
I’ve always been your loving moon
Moon
Will you give us a chance?
Moon
I need to know soon, I’m going into orbit
Moon
Yes! You won’t regret this
Moon
I’ll love you with the heat of a sun, but the depths of a moon!
Sun
See you on the next orbit
