Parallel Universe



A wrinkle in time; at that moment you laughed and then the moment passed me by  
At that exact moment, your laugh caught my eye;
Then I saw shooting stars making landfall on the surface of Mars
The echoes of your laugh spiraled out of control into my mind’s eye and lit up my soul
Entire parallel universes in their corresponding dimensions unwrapped in warp time & light speeds
You were setting me up for the inevitable fall
The fall that would come eventually and in the next moment I fell
Head over heels in love you could tell- so much it hurts
An epiphany - you are not the only woman for me in this world followed by this catharsis
But you are the only one for me in the entire multiverse;
But all these revelations took place in a parallel dimension on a mirror earth on a counter ecosphere
Because in this cosmos I never heard your laugh; never saw shooting stars create craters on Mars
Just as you never left your impression on my heart   
You never caught my eye, I never heard your laugh
Hence in this realm, all these moments just passively passed me by
