What do you regret?
What would you want to reset?*

"To the day we met,
Not* to get to meet you again,
But to make our paths parallel."

In another parallel universe we are still in love
We are holding hands in our house where every room is painted a different color because that is what I always wanted
We are sitting on our couch as you play guitar and our Labrador Retrievers run around at our feet
In this parallel universe we never went separate ways
We are constantly building each other up and drinking iced coffees at 7 AM while Jack Johnson plays softly in the background
We are lying together in our bed on a Saturday night after work and laughing so hard that we cannot breathe
We are sipping IPAs in our pajamas all throughout a lazy Sunday afternoon without a care in the world
We are brushing our teeth together in the morning and thinking how could it get any better than this?
In another parallel universe you would still be my soulmate and we could still be in love

2/4
Our worlds experienced tangency
Once, we met and then you're gone
And somehow, that was fine

3/4
Our worlds are asymptotic
You are so close and if i can just reach out
Maybe it would have cleared the doubt

4/4
Our worlds formed a circle
We are half-arcs filling each other

I used to think that there are no such things as parallel universe.
That we only live in this current situation and that everything is planned ahead of us.

But the you came along, unexpectedly and unbelievably.

You're a believer of parallel universe and that our fate depends on what choices we and the people around us decided to make.
You said that life is a constant choices you need to choose from.

And suddenly, i believed you.

I believed that our unexpected meeting is not our choice, but our past choices are.

I chose someone who didn't choose me, and same goes for you, and their choices leads to our story.

I couldn't thank them less for not choosing both of us.
We may feel a bit sad before, but look at us now, we're both more than what we deserve.

And i want you to know, that if i had to choose again, over my change of fate and you, i will always choose you, and i'm going to make my own fate with you in it.

Each step forward, I found his ego winning over my love.

I'll give you my pen
if you draw the parallels
here between our lives.

What happens
when my version
in real dimension
met your version
in parallel universe,
staring at each other like
it’s a usual scenario,
seeing those cold eyes
flaming my heart on fire,
feeling the blazing sensation
memories outnumbering stars,
yet still overwhelmed by the suffocation
of the aroma
called love?

What happens
when your version
in real dimension
met my version
in parallel universe,
sitting on the same bench,
looking at the same sky,
watching  how the sun and moon keep distance,
spectrum illuminating our souls,
exquisitely walking  away,
monsters screaming in shadows,
vanishing footprints
but still,
synchronous to my heartbeat?

However improbable
I like to think that the multiverse theory is true
That for every choice we made
there are versions of us who made different ones,
and that for every lost opportunity
there is a whole another universe where we took a chance
The paradox will never end
the parallels will never cross
But I like to think that
somewhere out there
no matter how unreachable
there is a version of me
that still has you.
