“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to the moon?” I asked Kate as I slid my arm under her neck.

“I've thought about it a few times,” Kate said as she looked over at me.

Both of us were laying on the ground looking up at the moon. It was a full moon, a beautiful full moon. There is nothing other than death that has fascinated people like the moon has. Simply looking at it sparks creativity that leads to questions that we can't answer.

“Would you go up there if you had the chance?” I asked.

Kate paused for a few minutes and looked up at the moon. The sky was clear, except for a few clouds that would cover the moon from time to time. In between our conversation the night spoke to us. The silence was broken by the sounds of city life. Sounds from cars, people, and even insects.

“I would only go there if you went with me,” Kate said as she kissed me lightly on the lips.

This made me feel good inside. I have been with so many women who really didn't care about me. I don't care if it was just some mushy shit to make me feel good. It did make me feel good, it also made me feel good that she would say such a thing. I like it when my partner tries to make me happy. Oh, why should I call her my partner? Just because I'm a lesbian doesn't mean that I can't have a lover. Kate is my lover, plain and simple.

“That is a nice thing of you to say. But, would you really go to the moon?” I asked as I moved my body closer to hers.

“I don't know, I really don't know. I'm not sure there is a reason for me to go up there,” Kate said as she looked at the moon.

Kate did have a point, I never thought about it like that before. I have always been interested in the moon, I try to look at it every night. I have since I can remember, I guess it is one of my quirks. I'd love to go to the moon, but I don't have a reason to go. I wouldn't be able to do any kind of science experiments or something that would make humanity better. But, it would be neat to look into outer space and to see what the earth looks like from far away.

“I'd like to go to the moon. I have no reason to, but I would like to look out into outer space and look back at the earth,” I explained.

“If you were up there, I would wave at you from down here,” Kate said as she gave me another kiss.

I wasn't sure that I could take all of this love. I have never experienced love like this. I have always dreamed of finding a nice woman who would love me, but I really never thought I would find her. Sometimes I think I really didn't try too hard, because I was afraid to admit that I am a lesbian. I'm not ashamed of it, but my family doesn't like it. I should say they don't understand, that would be more like it. My dad is okay with it, my mom on the other hand isn't. I can understand why my dad likes it, most men like the idea of two women having sex.
