In another time and space
In another galaxy
Our ships could have collided
And we could have birthed something from the wreckage

In another time and place
Our hearts could have won the battle
We wouldn't have left the battlefield unscathed
But they would be scars full of promise

Maybe in another universe
Where life always gave us choice
This could have become something
We would strip away the layers all the while terrified of vulnerability
Free fall, risking landing not so gracefully
Fill each crevice with love, soothe every ache with gentleness
Wreaking havoc in our wake with a love so fierce, so ablaze it could engulf the very source of its existence

In another galaxy our ships could have collided
And we could have created beauty from the ashes and debris
