You and me

In another world you wouldn't have the scars, thin lines on your legs.

In another world I would have stopped them from appearing.

In another world you would still be alive, your hands clean of your own blood, your eyes still shining brightly.

In another world I wouldn't still be learning how to live without you.

In another world perhaps you wouldn't be mine.

In another world I would be lost without you holding me, close to your chest, close to your heart, hands on my waist, my heart on my sleeve.

In another world she wouldn't hate her, you wouldn't hate me, I wouldn't fear them.

In another world I wouldn't be a runner, I might be running, always running away.

In another world I would learn how to love you, learn how to lose you, know how I lost you, know why you left me, know if you love me.

In another world I wouldn't be me, even if I still had you.
