Alternate mechanism

He took a deep breath, I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, it feels like I have known him all my life in an alternate reality. I must have, he is too familiar to be a stranger, his presence too certain to be a threat. It's like we are one in two separate bodies. We don't speak, we just exist in comfortable silence circulating fresh air through our lungs. As he breathes out, I breathe in. In an alternate reality, we just have been one mechanism.
