My Life on the Moon

such a sad ending . this guy sounds very lonely , cannot imagine being on the moon, all alone , visitors comng and going. but the one you love drifting into a tiny dot, a huge distance between one person and another, so much aching distance that it makes one cry ..

i love the ending to this , so achingly sad but expressed so beautifully

When I see the one I love,
I smile and beckon her
With out-stretched arms
Then I watch her
Get smaller and smaller
As she gently floats away
Followed by my tears

I thought in outer space tears wouldn't roll down our cheeks, they would just float away, so  . . . It is nice when poetry can elicit strong emotions, but sorry if it made you cry.

i didn't cry lol. i was just sayng it was beautiful but sad.  i understand what you are saying
