Harvest Moon

When we dated he took me outside on the September full moon so we could look at it together.  He was kissing me and paused to look outside.  Said it was the full moon and he wanted to go out and look at it with me.  He was all smiles and he pulled me up saying, "Come on.  I want to look at the moon with you."  I specifically remember standing under my huge tree with him holding my hand and he kissed me.  He said he had enjoyed the month we'd spent together and he hoped we'd spend many more moons together.  He said he wondered if my neighbors were watching him kiss me.  He smiled more at that idea.

I was writing today.  It is hard to write past the fear of what's happened here recently.  But I was really trying.  I was telling him that I know the real him {because those last emails were again fear not love, totally not the loving man I knew} and I know that he "still loves me." Right as I was writing those words, "You still love me," these lyrics started playing.  It was the line "Because I am still in love with you." 

The Harvest moon is the September full moon.

"Harvest Moon"

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
