"To love the moon is to love it both when it is full and brilliant, and also when it is only a sliver, barely there. To love the moon is to love its glow as well as its darkness, its cycles, its quiet returns... To love someone is to honor them in their brightest phases and their dimmest ones. To love someone is to understand that even when they wane, even when they don't really want to be seen, they are still whole, they are still worthy of being loved in the dark too. Love is choosing them through every phase.
