i always knew that i wasn't of this world
something told me that i never really belonged.
everywhere i went, i never fit in
my entire life, thus far, has been focused on one purpose
getting out of here
not just my parents house
or this town
not even my school
or my country
no, i realize that i must go much further to find a place i belong
much further1
when i look around me i see everything
everything that anyone would ever dream of
but then i knew i wasn't just anyone2
it all came to me one night
i woke up and the moon was shinning though my window
it never does that
the sun never does that either
and i have many widows in my room
but only one small, tiny one at the top near the celling
a half circle
but the moon was full3
that night i learned many things
including something i never learned about the moon in any text book
it has special powers
oh bella luna
but if i didn't learn these luna secrets from a book
how did i know them
when i awoke the next morning
all the secrets were rushing though my head
of an unfulfilled mission
and unfulfilled love
between luna and sol4
she told me about it that night she shone on my face
said i was the first one that understood her
the first one to listen to her
and because of that she granted my a favor
the secret of all luna legends
that night when the light shone down on my face, though my one window
it shown through one other window that night too
the window of my true love5
so i looked out the window to see where she was pointing me
it let me over the horizon
past the clouds
over the stars
and under the milky way
to a land further than anyone on this earth would ever see with a telescope
and yet i could see it clearly
his face
so perfect
i wont describe it because when you try to describe something
it slips further and further out of your head each time you mention it6
and when i finally asked luna why she told me this
a soft tear fell from her eye
and she said
because no matter how hard love is to find
you are the one on this earth
who will have the hardest time finding it
and everyone deserves love7
and to that i replied
even you luna
even you

OMFG. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! My friend beside me read this also, and she loved this a lot. In the beginning it was a smile, and at the end it was a big smile. This story is so touching, and it's amazing.
Keep up the good work,
