Science Of Love

by: Dale Daryl Gutierrez

Since I was a child, science had always been a warm and welcoming haven.
I read all sorts of books and watched the Discovery Channel for hours in amazement.
The world outside seem so rough, pain and hateful things were something unexplained.
Unlike the countless phenomena of the physical world, and so I in science I had stayed.
So this was the case until I met the likes of her, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you
Oh yes, she was a mystery... an enigma that left me questions by the hundreds.
Even when I did my research, the sum of my inquiry made no difference.
She was like a line of a poem written in Old English,
because I had to go and take a look back.
The sight of her was like having a group of post-metamorphosis chrysalis in my midsection...
there were butterflies in my stomach.

My mind plays over and over this one Michael Jackson song
because of the way she made me feel.
She made me say, "Screw Van Der Waals!", because I know she was ideal.
In the mornings the Sun would only be second to her radiance
and the moon a runner-up during the nights.
Everything else felt like 90 degrees triangles, because it all felt right.
Michael Faraday and Heinrich Lenz were correct to postulate their laws on electricity and magnetism.
Because the moment we felt that spark,
we were instantaneously attracted toward each other.
We fell for one another harder than the apple on Isaac Newton's head, thanks to gravity.
We were like two opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines,
because we were complimentary.
I courted her,
and when she said yes I promised my self I would sing her name with love,
like a ballad's chorus.
Because she was my "Eureka!" moment when she displaced the loneliness festering in my subconscious.

I loved her so much, that even if there was a distance,
I would force to make things work because she was mine.
All I am saying is that the power of love made me work overtime.
But things soon got rough between us, you see there was a friction.
No amount of PID could have controlled that situation.
And when we parted ways I realized breaking up is technically just integration.
Cause the person that you loved who you thought was your Number 1 once integrated,
becomes an X in the equation.
Plus see, I realized life wasn't elastic,
because nothing will ever return to the way it were.
And so I weep a river from each eyes, I almost went insane.
You see me and her were now asymptotic,
because we will never touch again.

For the following months my mouth was like a Cartesian plane,
it was full of X's and Y's.
Until I came to the conclusion that love and science is sometimes wrong,
you can ask me why.
Science states that in a vacuum sound could not exist
because there is no air to act as the medium for the vibrations.
If so, then why was it when her presence took the air as she left I could still hear the whisper of regret and repercussions?
If light is faster than sound,
then why is it her sweet voice came first before the vivid vision of us spending an eternity together?
If two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time,
then why were our hearts in one place when we said I love you to each other?
Science, like love, isn't perfect, neither was I or her.
We both had our own sides of the story, but both was never heard
Yet although my faith in science is shaken,
I do hope the Third Law is correct about one thing.
That I was hurt this bad now, so that one day I may love so much once again.

Thank You for Stopping by!
