Forever Valentine
In a small café
On the edge of eternity
I found you sipping coffee
Knowing life was getting ready
To offer you something more
Gazing out the frosted window
You said you could see your future
You watched your life unfold
Upon the far mesa
Noting changes and new connections
You turned to me
Your eyes burning through me
You knew all my secrets
You stripped my soul naked
I could feel my defenses fade
You spoke of possibilities
Of life’s untraveled paths
Of mysterious parallels
And doppelgangers
How we already knew the truths
Again you looked to the mesa
You whispered some inaudible words
A surge of energy raced through me
I could see myself, upon your mesa
I watched my future materialize
I felt a sea of warmth cradle me
I watched my body melt into yours
Creating the transformation that would be us
Caught in the vortex of parallel time
I knew I had found my forever Valentine
