**This is one of my love poems for my Day 143!**

**I wrote this poem off of a prompt of my own creation, so if you use this prompt, please credit me for the prompt.**

**Prompt: Compare unrequited love to something in the natural world (a flower that blooms for no one; the moon chasing the sun).**

It’s like we’re in

A solar chase,

Rarely meeting

Face to face.

It’s like I’m the moon

And you’re the sun,

I’ll be chasing you

Forever with hope.

_Hope that someday_

_You’ll stop running…_

Like the moon

Chasing the sun,

I’m hopelessly running after

Who I think is the one.

_But you don’t want to be_

_The one for me._

The times we meet are rare

Like solar eclipses,

When the moon

And the sun

Briefly cross paths,

Then carry on

Without a care.

_I do care though…_

_Sadly, _

_You don’t._

A solar chase,

Each of us running

At our own pace,

But yours is faster…

_I can’t seem _

_To catch up._

Will you ever

Slow down,

Will you ever

Wait for me?

_I guess not…_

Like the moon

And the sun,

You’ll never be mine

‘Cause you left me behind.

_Chasing someone,_

_Chasing love,_

_Chasing the sun,_

_It’s all the same…_

__

_Like the sun,_

_You can’t be tamed…_
