The Geometry of Love
Parallel.
They said if our worlds ever existed,
It would be in parallel.
But when you gave me that sideways glance
I turned my chair perpendicular to avoid the trance
You cast on me.
And with as upside-down as my life is now,
My rubix-cube thoughts couldn't see how
This was meant to be.
Forgive my criss-crossed crooked gaze your way
But my tangle-angle heart wants you to stay.
And now I begin to see........
Like two dusty snowball spheres, our worlds collide,
And spatter beautiful flakes of brokenness
On this universe of We.
And now I begin to see,
Our worlds are meant to be
Everything....but
Parallel.
