midnight multiverse musing
i know the multiverse is real. it’s where we end up together. right now you’re sitting on our deck looking out at the water, just after sunrise, your hair short (you’re going for a more classic handsome look in that world), and i bring out our morning coffee and tea (that version of me likes hot drinks i guess?) and i wrap my arms around your neck, my long braid falling to the side as i kiss your cheek. we have each other and that’s all we ever need. there’s no kids but in that universe, that’s the way we want it. my long white dress catches in the wind as i move around the table to sit down with you. you grab my hand and tell me you love me in every universe. for a second i look into a different one and see our love is from a distance and i smile knowing someone else needs me there so it’s for the best, but basking in the warmth of the present.
