Moon Set

Last night I saw one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I saw the moon set. I didn't even know it was possible. He and I walked down to the beach after my poorly timed meltdown on account of the night being so clear and the waves being so loud. I was surprised he wanted to go, but I wasn't complaining. It was so beautiful. It was an exact half moon, orange from the dust of the Santa Annas. And the sky was so clear it almost seemed like it wasn't even real. There were bright blue stars everywhere that I'd never seen before. The moon hovered just above the horizon for a while, then sunk into the water while we watched. And we turned around and walked back and my feet were freezing but I felt like it was worth it.

It wasn't at all how I thought my evening would go; standing next to this man, maybe for the last time, watching the moon fall out of the sky.
