For all of eternity, you've loved her. Yet, a wall stands between the two of you --

In every single realm, you've failed to capture her heart. It seems the very universe had deemed you two unfit.

Why?, you wondered. Why couldn't you ever catch her stealing a glance at you? Why was it that the only reality where she loved you was when you were a boy?

You'd resigned yourself, and the empty bar stool you occupied. Your spirits had been diminished.

Then, as if summoned by a higher power, the soft clack of a door opening pierced the stillness. She had arrived.

Those same hazel eyes, and that long silky hair, the scent you missed for eternity, she walked over to the counter, gift bag in hand

"Could I get a non-alcoholic drink?" She asked, she was dressed up for a party, maybe a birthday party you pondered

She suddenly locked eyes with you, what is this feeling? Like there wasn't a barrier holding the two of you apart, is this it?

Or just another one of your dreams, but with the same look she gave you in all of the timelines, one that lacked affection, even after all the things you've did for her, this was the first time you met in this timeline, she didn't know you. But you knew her.
