Talking To The Moon

At night when the stars

light up my room

I sit by myself

Talking to the Moon

Try to get to You

In hopes you're on

the other side

Talking to me too

Or am I a fool

who sits alone

Talking to the moon

These are lines from the song "Talking To The Moon" by Bruno Mars.  I am hardly a person of music but tonight as I listened to this song, I cannot help but relate.  I do sit alone at night many times looking at the moon and do nothing else but think.  It is during these times that I get to think and read my own thoughts without all the noise of work, of problems, or even of fun times.In some way, I do talk to the moon.

I relate to this song not because of a desire to reach out to someone else.  I relate because I try to reach out to myself.  To my former self.

That person has left me a long time ago and I know deep inside I want that person back.  Badly.
