As We Combine

June 10, 2014

I believe in the string theory. I believe in the multiverse theory.

Simply because I need to know that somewhere out there exists

A world in which you and I have come together to be one; because

I know that in this world I will not have the pleasantries of belonging

And being able to use the words “yours” and apply it to you, unless

Of course I am referring to myself as “your friend” or perhaps something

Drastic, like saying “not your first choice, or your second, maybe your fifth?”.

Because in this universe I do not exist as some particle or galaxy that

Lights up your being; I am not your source of motivation or the reason you

Decide to wake up for another day. I do not have that power here.

So maybe in another universe there is a you and an I and we belong as one,

To each other, freely. Maybe in another universe there is a you and I and I

Have the chance to run my fingers down your back, or kiss the scruff

That has grown on your face since you shaved this morning or

A universe where you and I combine as one in our bed, one mess
In the blankets that we share.
