#36 What if
What if we met at a different time?
different era
with our lives fresh in other dimensions
different spaces, people, jobs, stories
would we match?
I sometimes wonder
because we seem so right in this moment
but our circumstances box us apart
strings pull us opposite ways
they were there before
and they were our choice
so nothing to do
the time is now they say
well for us it isn’t
but it was in the past, we have a past
a deep, transforming, mythical past
that tangles our souls hopelessly
I can feel it though I can’t recall it
I find this is the only explanation
for recognizing you so easily
in this automatic heart scan we have
but what if we meet in the future?
will we smile the same way
talk the same
feel the chills so deep and pure as we do?
will we feel fire in each touch
as we do and avoid them to think straight
would we miss each other?
what if we met at a different time?
would we be together?
