pictured words

I Am Not There

I am not there, where you are. 
I try to understand through your eyes. 
Through your heart. 
But I am not there, where you are.

Sometimes I think, perhaps, maybe
we are experiencing life
in multiverse. 

I am not convinced it even exists.

But
I am not there, where you are.
I look at what you look at,
but I don’t see what you see.
I listen to what you listen to,
but I don’t hear what you hear.

And you are not here, where I am.
You look at what I look at,
but you don’t see what I see.
You listen to what I listen to,
but you don’t hear what I hear.
You are not here, where I am.

And I am not there.
