Mathematical Love

I started thinking
that if there is only a fixed number
of people we will meet in our lives
constraint by time, space
and our socialbility
then perhaps how sad it is
that we will never ever meet
the one that is truly meant for us
( I have no clue what truly meant means)
but only settling for someone
that we have somehow chose to be with
given all these constraints!
That subconsciously,
we have factored all these
in our self balancing equation
and chose finally to say, yes
she or he is the one… given all these factors…
What if,
our life span is extended by another 200 years
how then would this equation work out
and what a test is this for Love!
Somehow,
I am still figuring Love out
but perhaps Love needs no figuring?
It is an unsolvable
equation
meant only for the heart.



Even if I called him sissy, I think this kid is my favorite poet, hehe. :)
