July Poetry: the moon that smiled

I hadn't seen a smile like that before,
Not round these parts,
It felt like something familiar.
What's worse was I never saw it again.
I never felt it again.
Not in that way at least.
It didn't bother me though,
At least I knew that feeling was out there somewhere on this earth.
Like how you can see the moon,
but will never experience it up close.
Appreciating how it makes the dark
slightly less scary
but will never get a chance to truly say thank you.
That was her smile,
A memory I would reflect on 
whilst walking the streets,
whilst in the shower,
whilst carrying out the mundane tasks of life.
That's when I remembered.
That's why I'm glad,
I saw her smile.
Even if it was just that one time.
