Wrong Person, Write Love.

Prose 031: In Another Life

What if parallel universes were true?

It would really be reassuring to know that somewhere far away from here-- far from the 'me' and 'you' who never chose each other, we've got to have the love and happiness that we always thought aren't for us.

I would be relieved if the moment I turned my back on you and walked away that rainy day, another universe came to existence and there I've got to hug you and told you to stay instead.

If it was only true that with every choice we make, an alternate decision that we opted not to take in this life could happen in another world-- in an alternate reality that I have always dreamt of.

Maybe then, it wouldn't hurt this much.

But...

Who am I fooling? Whether or not parallel universes are true, it could never change the fact that the world we lived in isn't the world where my heart longs to be. Nothing could erase this feeling of regret and resentment no matter how many multiverse theories I tried to look for just to make myself feel a little better.

Because in the end, the only truth I know is I still love you and all the memories you left for me to write for.

That I'm still waiting for you-- even if you've gone on to your next lifetime already.

- Aries, "In Another Life."
