Time travel



My dreams are filled
With future things
Flashing before my eyes.

My heart aches
And sometimes hurts
When i think about the time.

I know what’s coming
But I can’t say a word
At the risk of making things worse

I see pain
But also joy
Many timelines show in my mind

It hurts so much
But I love the pain
Telling you nothing, my only mistake

One timeline shows pain
We are no longer one
Stubborn was our enemy all along

Another shows love
Even through pain
White home, free love, open fame

Another shows hardship
Though all of them do
From poor to wealthy with a great price

Yet another shows lust
Love torn apart
From calm to jealousy from 2 to 3

Then there are visions
Some set in stone
Even more, worry to add to my pain.

We aren’t healthy
But we always work
I will always love you, even if it hurts.

Lastly, I see
A tear in space and time
No matter the timeline, this always stays the same.

We look into the hole
To look into the past.
And watch the memories we make together last.

No matter what happens
Or how long we wait
Through all of space and time, I know we will survive
