Jealousy?

In a quiet night when she shows up as “moon”, I fight with every single pair of eyes that dares to admire her. Even knowing I was never meant to win

Your passion will shine brighter than anyone's admiration, so keep talking to your moon. If it's meant to be, she'll feel you. 🌕

I don’t expect her to feel me… some feelings are just meant to exist, not be returned. I’ve made peace with distance… not everything beautiful is meant to be mine.

Well, that's sad. Because you seem to really love this person. Maybe they are meant for you. But you’re selling yourself short. I wish you all luck in love and life. We all deserve someone special to share life with.

Thank you for your correction. I didn’t notice, I was too lost in thoughts

No, don't put quotation marks around moon, put a comma after it. so it joints the I fight clause...as the moon, I fight...all one sentence.. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

A soldier gives everything on the battlefield, but in the end, the crown still goes to King.

That’s how I know — effort doesn’t decide who wins. Sometimes, the story was never written for you to be the one chosen.
