Some scientists say,
the moon is slowly moving away from the earth.
I never realized it.
For me, the moon is the same every night,
the only one who can smile in the dark sky,
while the stars only dare to blink.

Do you know why?
The moon loves the earth.
It always keeps itself from straying out of orbit,
the orbit that keeps it at a distance from the earth,
a balanced distance,
not too close, not too far.
The moon knows where to place itself,
so it can always watch the earth,
becoming a witness to how the earth grows, ages, and wears out.
