Nerdy love
If I were a protein,
 You were definitely my enzyme, while
 Distorting me to my most vulnerable and unstable position,
 Believe it or not, as you substrate,
 I was made specifically just for you.
 
 Remember how they say math is boring,
 And nerdy and pedagogical and a plainly waste of time.
 But when I see your exertion of graphing the function out,
 --y=a(1+cos?)
 When I see the diligence in your perfectly oval eyes, 
 You captured my "cardioid".
 
 I'm so glad, because of
 The catastrophic meteor impact---which was 65 million years ago,
 Hitting our earth---which was created 4.5 billion years ago,
 With the extinction of dinosaurs--which first appeared 220 million years ago.
 Otherwise, mammals wouldn't thrive;
 Hominids wouldn't stand upright;
 There wouldn't be Australopithecines digging for food with sharp sticks,
 Or hunting-gathering societies,
 Or agricultural revolution,
 Or pyramids or Confucianism or Socrates or Alexander the Great. And the worst or all--
 I wouldn't meet you.
 
 I don't like you being such a cynosure carbon.
 I don't want your ability to covalently bond four times.
 I don't care about your ubiquity in nature, being essential to everybody.
 --Can you please, just be an ordinary hydrogen?
 And share your electron, only, with me?
 
 You tell me to fight for my dreams,
 And I feel my feet lifting--
 Yes, it is physically possible, when
 Your gravity if stronger than that of earth.
 When your words control the tides within me. 
 
 When you tell me to work hard and fight, I do.
 For it's you who tell me.
