Moonlight to Guide Us

i showed you constellations
taught you to navigate by star
in case you got lost
in far outer space
and wanted to come home

you showed me streetlights
pointed out road signs
in case i found myself
wandering the city
all alone

i taught you to face my fears
and you taught me to face yours

we were out together
between the milky way
and the warmth of the corner store
we were walking
just a few feet above the snow

if we should get lost
on a night such as this
it is moonlight
will guide us home
