I think a grasp(or at the very least a quick read) of some Of Issac Newton's laws are needed.
Basically and very roughly, if an object has enough mass, then it will attract other objects towards it. The moon is close enough to be attracted by the earth's pull.
This also explains why the planets orbit the sun, they are "held" in this orbit by the sun's gravity.
I think the observation and problems that you have explained by "Griff" were explained by Newton and Einstein.

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
