Why do I look at the moon?

Yeah, weird name for a piece of writing isn't it. I agree. But well, I have been asked that by many people when they find me randomly looking at the moon while they are making "conversation" among themselves. So here is a long due reply to "why" would i look at the moon so often.
When you first fall in love, the moon is that one thing that seems more beautiful than ever before and its your companion for the nights you can do nothing but miss that special someone and think of nothing but her. It's there with you when you take that long walk in the empty streets, alone, with thoughts in your mind ranging from mere nothings to the biggest dreams that you have ever nurtured. It's there still, in some shape or size when you are sitting on a bench with that special someone finally with you, next to you, holding your hand. You might not look at it for there is your own piece of moon next to you, but well its still there. And then there are those nights when you go out in the open at night to find that same companion in the skies that has been there for you , always, but you don't find it, coz sadly enough it doesn't rise every night. It's not just a companion for the happy times, but more importantly it's there for you to look at when things are going all wrong. When you take that walk alone, on the same roads where you once strolled with that one you thought was 'the one' , but alas! she isn't there now, but the moon is still looking over you to reassure you that things are still beautiful, its just your perception that has changed, and that the night will still be as pretty again when you will find the true one someday. The moon is there with you in all those nights that you spent on that bed of yours with tears dripping down your eyes, for a reason only your heart knows and which will bury itself with you.
There is another really amazing thought that comes to my mind when I look at the moon. It is the one thing that binds me and my special someone even when we are miles apart. When I look at it , I know that somewhere she can look at the same serene beauty and that it is a connection between me and her which will hold us close even when we are separated by distances. For I know that it will watch over her and take care of her like it has taken care of me over the years, I can sleep peacefully each night.
Isn't this reason enough for me to look at it and merely admire it and acknowledge all that it has done for me without asking for a penny in return. And well, why even need a reason to look at the moon? Isn't the beautiful thing itself reason enough to admire God's second most beautiful creation?
