In another universe

In another universe….

In another universe you know that I carry your scent wherever I go

my hair conditioner smells like it too, that's the one I always buy

All my journals are filled with poetry about you.

It's like I've built my home with fragments of you.

In another universe you have seen all the art I ever created for you

You’ve known beauty because you saw yourself through my eyes

You know that I have pinterests boards dedicated to you

That I spent a whole year saving stuff on social media just so I could show it to you one day

In another universe you were there when I first got published

You're aware that I am writing three books on you

And I have albums dedicated to honor you

In another universe you know that I have a box full of dry flowers for you

I pluck one everytime I go out in the hopes I can give them to you one day

How I visited the plant of your flower everyday since I lost you

And how I wrote a poem when I saw you holding a rose.

In another universe you aren’t fazed by all the dreams I had about you and how they all came true

And it is not only in them where you come home to me.

It never lets me forget you not here not there

How you know about the tissue paper with your initial on it

And the wallpaper with ours on it

That you’ve heard me the way I talk to God about you

Yet in these both universes I swing between

“Tell her about your love you only live once” or

“Keep your love a secret for perhaps it shall be the death of you” like a pendulum

And in another universe you never settle for a lesser form of love

While I know my love for you shall brew a maddening inside

An insanity my soul has been hungry for

They are scared to water the plant too much

Because perhaps love is violence

To yours or another

And in another universe

I’d still love to go insane for you
