In Another Universe

In Another Universe 

That day I cried.

I cried so hard it took me three days to get back the usual shape of my eyes.

But, I didn't tell you how I was feeling.

 

You wandered.. "How can she move on so fast from me?"

"I didn't". 

Is what I would tell you if you were here.

 

My mind went into shock the first time you laid eyes on me.

It was the first time somebody didn't look at me in a lustful way. 

It was the first time I felt the look of love over me.

 

We were on a similar journey. 

I had met my Counterfit months before you came along.

And you did the same. But we just didn't know. 

We both were on a specific journey of learning our lessons in love and, the day I met you, I could feel it, but could not find the words to explain it.

We could say that, it was "too good to be true".

 

We were not so different from each other..

You looked like the perfect gentleman.

Mature, responsible, kind, patient. 

Only good traits, seemingly.

 

However, there's one trait I recognized to be a reflection of my own.

"Too Silent".

Not a big talker of what's going on inside. 

Unfortunately, that's what we missed since the very beginning.

 

Letting our eyes talk without explaining much.

Leaving each other's side in silence, while a whole Big Bang was generating inside of us.

Coming off as clumsiness whenever we would be back around one another.

My biggest regret is that I should've talked about how stripped of my heart I felt during the nights without you. 

But it seemed too soon and too late at the same time;  to tell you how deeply I felt for you. 

So I kept all that chaos inside; fears, anger, panic, sadness and pain. 

 

Until, one day, shame came through.  

I did not recognize who I was. 

And all of a sudden.. 

I was gone.

 

I initiated it.

So I cut the cord, before it could strangle me.

 

But little did we know.. about the evil eyes that were around us. Since the very beginning. 

 

And that's why it felt strange and unnatural.

Because it was. 

So no; I did not move on so fast from our love.

 

I still keep that memory in my heart for us. 

 

Knowing that in another Universe, we did it. 

We won this War.
