Love.like.Calculus (with Astra Dei)

By SilentStalker

Your (one) perfect grin
defined extrinsic curvature of.your.lips
bringing me 'round(ed) to the day we first met
and the 'power' and depth of your eyes
that I'll never forget.

Combining.collections of our understanding and trust
with a little 'plus' scrawled on bathroom walls
so it equals 'Us'.
As multiplied by three to signify to you, and all,
How much this means to me.

/Divide/ our combined hardships.and.heartaches
/Lies and /fights and ^include the exponent of regret
for all those (lonesome)sleepless nights
I was left choking back tears. Counting the drops 1...2...3...infinity.

But don't forget to add all those beautiful promises we've kept.
Square it, Divide by my love for you
To show, why you're the only One
and We are what's left, measureless and inexhaustible.
