For My Love Gazing at the Moon

I love you like one loves the moon,
not only in its full phase,
on a clear night,
when it's the most whole
and most unobscured.

I love you with a certain knowing,
like one knows the crescent moon,
shrouded in clouds,
is bulbous, enormous,
and luminous,
though some only see
a sliver of its face.
