Eternal Sunshine of a Hopeful Mind

I know you’ll be far away soon

And maybe our bodies will follow our minds a thousand miles apart

And maybe that’s when we diverge and forever continue on different axes

Maybe we’ll bypass each other always a few steps behind

And maybe we’ll both live by the sea but neither of us will take tallies

Maybe we’ll breath so far from one another that the sun will leave me to find you

And maybe I will be so faint in your memory you’ll haphazardly wonder if I even happened

But what if the universe takes a gamble?

What if our lives are not diverging lines but beautiful, undulating curves?

And what if they do intersect again?

What if by some sublime miracle of calculus we are woven into each other by our very nature and what if it’s logical?

What if we do live by the sea?

But what if you are walking and you pause to fix your shoe, and I catch up to you at the docks?

What if we throw our lines out together and they get tangled up in each other and what if so do we?

What if we still catch fish?

What if I spend sunset by the edge of the world?

And as my sun begins to leave me, what if I follow her into the abyss and what if I wake up to your sun?

What if I wake up next to you?
