Parallel.

Sometimes my thoughts still wander to you.
I still catch glimpses of us in my everyday life,
Like the path we walked that winter night,
After I gave everything to you for the very first time.

I want to thank you for holding my heart so delicately,
For letting me grow with so much patience.
For standing with me through every single storm,
And staying with me to admire the rainbow after the chaos settled.

It's such a shame that we couldn't withstand
The complexities of growing up.
That's the thing about falling in love when you're young,
You either grow up together, or grow apart.
It's such a shame that it had to be the latter.

I believe that you and I exist in another parallel universe,
Where we were able to overcome our inner demons,
And will love indefinitely, inseparably.

But in this universe,
I hope you can find someone who will love you the same way I did,
but even more fiercely.
I hope she can make you feel everything I made you feel,
but even more intensely.

Most importantly,
Regardless of what universe you reside in:
You deserve all the happiness in the world,
and I hope you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
