Love Is Like Pi

"Love is like Pi, natural, irrational and very important!"

 — Lisa Hoffman


Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! As you bask in the loveliness of this special day, let's savour this romantic poem. Now who says mathematics has no place in the realm of love?


Our Equation


If I were to express the relationship between the

independent variable of you, and the dependent me,

the complex and imaginary terms will likely conquer

in this helpess effort to balance the addition of us

with all my iterations and no reciprocal.



If only I could draw tangents around the contours of your heart to cut me

a definite path,

a hypotenuse through the right angles into its depths,

then I'll differentiate the limiting conditions of your soul

and to embrace it all till nothing's left.



If only I could integrate your scattered attentions

into a single origin of me,

both of us so close as to undefine all units of measurement,

that I wish we can suspend ourselves in that moment, perfect

and tending to infinity.
