Where We Can Be Somewhere Else

He dreams of parallel universes

Other dimensions where he is someone else

Where who he was in the past never existed

And the shame that trots along his side finally abandons him

Sometimes he grows up somewhere else

Other times something tragic befalls him

In some he turns out to be a rock star

In others he cures cancer

All of them, though, have you in it

No matter how long it takes, you always find each other

There's one where you two are brothers

And another where you're older and wiser than him, teaching him life lessons

But his favorites will always be the ones in which

You finally gather up the nerve to love him

Sometimes you two are married

Other times you're star crossed lovers

In one he dies before his time, and in the other so do you

Whether the different versions of you have children

Money

A dog, a picket fence

It could be anything as long as it's a version of you that is able to fall in love with him
