The Gravitational Equation of Falling in Love

Info

I used to hate Physics and Math with all  I've got. 

I tried to live down the memory of  barely passing marks, fruitless review nights,  

that never permeated the    con      

                                                        vol         

                                                 uti

                                                      ons        of my brain anyway

But you...

You loved unraveling problem after problem. 

"Physics is easier than people" you used to say. 

And I understood, understood it like the equation for the force of gravity between two bodies.


F = G*((m sub 1*m sub 2)/r^2)

Where F is the force of attraction between two bodies,

Yours and mine, my lips tracing your S

                                                               P

                                                                I

                                                               N

                                                               E

Tangled limbs and bodies, safely tucked inside your arms. 


Where G is the universal gravitational constant,

The first time our eyes met, knew I was fa

                                                                      lli

                                                                         ng    

but          s.....l.....o.....w.....l.....y


the pattern of my heartbeat.


Where M sub 1 and M sub 2 is the mass of two bodies, molded into one when we made love,


And Where R,

Is the distance

Between                     you                    &                       me

but even in this half-a-world distance, I still feel the pull of your love on me.

You are like gravity.   

And, I...

I am but a continuously free-falling body in love.
