in another universe

maybe in another universe,
i would still be holding you tight.
things will work out between us.
we would set aside all our differences,
and all our problems.

maybe in another universe,
i would still be staring at your deep brown eyes,
with much adoration,
and with you staring back at me.

maybe in another universe,
you would overlook at my flaws,
accept me for who i am.
love me with much devotion,
even when i'm not a perfect being.

maybe in another universe,
there would still be butterflies,
flying through my stomach,
making me feel
the love that i've never felt before.

maybe in another universe,
i would be happy.
i would feel loved.
i wouldn't have to shed my tears,
late at night.

but in this universe,
i would just mourn at what i've lost.
we are just none other,
than some strangers with memories,
trying to forget each other.
