When you and I bonded

Atoms bond systematically.
They give and take electrons
to compile an octet.
It’s plainly logical.
There is a purpose to it.
They give and gain
to be more stable.
To be happy.
When you and I bonded,
I became happier too.
Within the universe
there are unexplained forces.
Monumental forces
of attraction, and repulsion.
Are these the same as love
and hatred?
Is the love we share
Stronger than gravity?
Bodies with mass attract each other,
It’s a law.
You and I are included in that, too
right?
I'm sorry for my absurd thinking.
It's just the way my brain works.
Sometimes I think
That anthropomorphizing science
will help me understand exactly
What happened
When you and I bonded.
