Eric's First Fundamental Theorem of Love

"Eric's First Fundamental Theorem of Love"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

One plus one equals one
Can this truly be
If so, then it is also true
That one plus one equals three

For there is your Soul, then there is mine
Two lives brought together by fate
And, in the creation of Love, we become one
Unless, by chance or design, we Procreate

Thus, three derives from one
The one created from the union of two
Man, woman and child
Creating another one because a family grew

All because this man
Vigorously desired to date you
Girl, don't you understand
Just how much I negative hate you

Which was proven by induction
For we experienced much frustration
And now, all that is left
Is for us to balance this equation

This is an amazing way to break down the abstract idea of 'love' and I enjoyed reading it very much. Negative hate is so great!

Love the description "negative hate" ..my math teacher loves it as a description of the opposite. Actually, I love how this proves the logic of math is totally wrong when it comes to people. Unfortunately, it's an equation that rarely stays balanced and take recalculation on a regular basis, but it is worth it. Love this piece! XJan

Balancing the equation of love is not an easy theorem to prove. Your first line is similar to the title of a poem I posted a while back. On to read your continuation. Well done, Eric.
