Moon Light

by Petra F. Bagnardi

Under the moonlight you showed me the line of your story;
it appeared not like the silvery path of a boy,
and it did not look like the tale of a purple girl.
It involved a complicated soul and the broken being of a human.
It took all your courage to tell me about your journey;
and for your brave honesty, I loved you.
