When I woke up, there was a moment when I was frightened.
Not for myself.
(My! That would be quite ridiculous.)
But the Moon - the Moon moves away from the Earth an inch-and-a-half every year.

Did you -                  
did you know that?

It is slightly terrifying.
And I understand (I do!)
        I understand that nothing will happen for a long

Oh! Well when you put it like that..

[sidewayseeing]

It is -

It is strange to think about things.
How they matter more.
Because we are not precisely what we were.

[unloved_nymph]

Is it possible that, um, though we aren't what we were, we are more ourselves without the, um, things that go with us? I was never a goddess or, um, anything as great as that but-

There are telescopes now. So even if the Moon is -less you can see her more clearly?

[sidewayseeing]

Oh, sweetness.
Greatness is a matter of opinion. And not of status.
Much like muchness.
And you possess no shortness of muchness.
This is all very true.
Things can be quite beautiful through lenses and glasses.

I- I can't say I noticed a difference? But that is worrying.

[sidewayseeing]

I think it is almost worse.
That we do not notice.
Would people noticed if we change?

[xworthless_onex]

If they know us, I think so.

Maybe it's because I don't really know the Moon...

[sidewayseeing]

One would hope.
I imagine.

Though I think that one would miss it all the same.
Should it disappear.

[sunshnesongster]

Aw, darling~

You shouldn't worry.

[sidewayseeing]

I suppose that I shall have to endeavor not to.
As I can do very little to  s t o p  or   s  l  o  w   its progress.

But one cannot help what they think while they sleep.

[sunshnesongster]

I said don't worry.

Thinking about the moon is always acceptable.

[sidewayseeing]

My thanks are yours then, sunshine.
Though, do feel free to remind me
should I forget.

Even through telescopes, yes.

[riverofhate]

It's just the Moon, you shouldn't be frightened for it.

[sidewayseeing]

Nothing is just.
And
if not me
who would be?
