A/N: This started out as a drabble inspired by that Abarat quote. But, as usual, the writing side of me took over and demanded I turn this into something more. And for every review you don't leave,a kitten dies. Just kidding. I think.

"Witch, do this for me:
Find me a moon
made of longing.
Then cut it sliver thin,
and having cut it,
hang it high
above my beloved's house,
so that she may look up
tonight
and see it,
and seeing it, sigh for me
as I sigh for her,
moon or no moon"
-Abarat

Something must be wrong with me. It's Sunday night-make that Sunday morning, it's 3 AM-and I'm awake. And not because of caffeine, or nightmares. Nooooo. It's because of Lex Luthor.
God, I can't believe I'm writing in a diary. I feel like I'm thirteen again, chugging Coke and writing long chronicles of pointless teenage drama at all hours of the night. But I have better things to write about now, like Lex Luthor.
Everyone skims over Lex. They figure he'll take after his father; charming on the surface, ruthless in the bedroom. BOARDROOM! I meant boardroom! Ugh, that takes my mind places I don't want to visit….mind out of the gutter, Lana.
Moving on….I had a dream a few nights ago about him. Lex invades my dreams every night, but this one was different.
We were at the mansion, although in a part I'd never been in before. We were standing there, chatting comfortably. All of the sudden, he said, "I want to show you something." He opened a glass door and led me outside to this beautiful observation deck. The breeze was warm and smelled like Lex. Then he took my hand, and he pointed to the moon. It was almost invisible, casting a glow only for those patient enough to catch it.
Lex said, "Have you ever seen the moon like that before?" I shook my head no, and he continued, "That's because I had it cut like that, just for you. So only you could see it." For some reason, it felt like the best gift he could ever give me; a moon to call my own, a man to call my own, just for one night.
Then I woke up.
The moon looks tonight like it did in my dream. I wish it was a present from Lex. I wish that he had given it to me, used all his money and power and fame to give it to me. Perhaps he did.
Perhaps he did.
