I don't know much about the universe

I don't know much about the universe. It's like someone who lives in my neighbourhood who I know exists but feels so foreign to me. I know that only 4 percent of the universe has been discovered so far. There is so much out there and so much that may just be a figment of our imagination. 

I don't know much about the universe. But when I closed my eyes and went into a deep sleep, I was transferred into something that felt like the universe. It had a dark highlight to it that engulfed everything but it also had these twinkling somethings and colourful twirls that distanced themselves from each other so symmetrically and yet, so randomly. 

I don't know much about the universe. But I know that it was a pathway built prior to my entrance into this world towards you. I tried to make sense of it but I couldn't and I just went along with it, like I was floating. It wasn't just my body that was floating but also my mind. It was in a daze; a daze that felt like love but it was more than that. It felt other-worldly. 

I don't know much about the universe. But I know that there was a boat. And there was a boatman. This boatman helped me get from one end to the other. He had no face. He had only a body. I don't know if "he" is the right pronoun for it, either. I just know of its existence and its work that it was kind enough to do for me. The boat was on some dark matter. I couldn't decipher if I was in the sky or on the ground because it all felt... one. 

I don't know much about the universe. There were so many times that I closed my eyes and I woke up on earth, like there was something amiss or something left incomplete and only after its completion would I be allowed to continue on my path towards you. It was a loop I was stuck in. Close eyes, complete task, open eyes, continue to you. Sometimes I would wake up in a swimming pool and another time in a restaurant. But when I would go back to the path towards you, I didn't have to start again. I could just continue from where I stopped last. 

I don't know much about the universe. I think there is nothing such as a soulmate... on earth. I think that this was a play on this word, the idea of this word, that I had embarked on. I don't know who you are either. I just know that you are a stop I need to make towards a final destination. I know nothing about this final destination. Maybe it is just floating for eternity through the darkness, coming across different burning stars or dying planets or go years(?) exploring a galaxy and exit it to do it all over again. Maybe it is another world that is the destination; one that might resemble earth or might just be the opposite of what we have experienced so far. Maybe it's nothing. 

I don't know much about the universe. But I do know that you are necessary. Without you, I am incomplete. And maybe we're not lovers. Maybe we're family; maybe we're friends. Or perhaps, even strangers. Or, something that has never been defined. But I can't go on without you. Because you provide a warm hand to hold in this neverending cold room whose path is unknown and probably, unending. 

I don't know much about the universe. I don't want to. I will nourish myself with the mystery that it provides. 

I will share some with you, too. Let us continue.
