Somewhere in alternate universe
You are still here with me
An infinity ours never actualized
I wasn’t so afraid of loving you in this world
And you weren’t stuck in the grip of demons
We were the gratified versions of ourselves
We still shared our first kiss in a drunken mess
Slow, anxious, and a little clumsy
Full of the “love at first sight” bullshit people talk about
But it was exactly that and planted the seed for our life together
I graduated highschool and we finally moved away
As far as a suitcase and our heavy pockets could take us
We got jobs in a new city
One that didn’t drag us down or make us small
We married young and full of love
In this life we got our vast forever together
An infinity that our universe never actualized
I still wish we had received more time
Here in the crippling reality
Forever was a lot smaller than we planned
And I still cherish every second of it we had
Ive dreamt millions of lives with you
Trying to see more realities where you got to stay
Our life would have been so beautiful
