He smiles oh so rarely, but I never wanted him to be different. Polly says we are like the Sun and the Moon, and I could imagine why she’d say so. Like the sun you are radiant, your light can’t be ignored and nourishes those it touches. Like the sun you are needed for us to live and survive. You are looked up to, guiding us through the night. Like the sun, Tommy, you can be cruel and burn those who dare defy you. You would scorch the Earth if someone tried to attack you and your loved one. You are nurturing but the same hand that gives can also take. Like the sun, we don’t know why you are, but you are.
Until then, like the moon, I will care for you and those we love. I will soothe your aching heart. I will embrace you with my warmth and sing to you about a beautiful tomorrow for the two of us. Like the moon, I will be there for you, I will carry your heart with me when you are too exhausted to do so. I will care for you when the darkness arises. I will protect your mind from your nightmares and your heart from heartbreak. Like the moon, I will always love you. But by god, your smile is the best reward I could ask for. My gangster, my king, my soldier…. My Sun.
