in another universe we had more time

in another universe we made it to summer

in another universe it's still March and none of this happened

in another universe you're okay and we're happy

in another universe i don't miss you like there's a hole in my chest.

sorry, i just miss you. tonight is just one of those nights.

anyway, I read someone said, "we don't even ask for happiness, just a little less pain."

i believe thats true.

i know some days get too hard that you no longer shoot for the moon and wish for unbridled joy, 

instead you just want to go through it day by day with less or no pain, and less exhaustion.

i wished that for you too,

but i dont want to stop there.

because on days that you can't, i'll be here to make those wishes and prayers for you.

i won't give up on your happiness.

no matter how rare they come or how small the doses are these days,

you, of all people, deserve to be happy. 🥺💛

and you deserve it in this lifetime,

and in this universe.
