Eric's Second Fundamental Theorem of Love

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

Love is....two minds plus two hearts
It's you plus me to the first power, there's no division in this part
It's the sum of two Souls, this equation is the best
It's the quantity of you and I, minus all the rest
It's respect and compassion over spells and potions
It's when you divide all the negatives, and integrate the quotient
It's the only thing that's given in any ship's relation
And only a well-calculated attempt will balance It's equation
It's emotion and devotion intersected by stress and pain
And It's only calculated naturally so it always yields a gain
It's a bi-product of lust or sisters and brothers
And It is always squared in the eyes of a mother
It's Faith Times Forgiveness, The Product Of The Word
And in It's simplest form, the bees and the birds
It's my blood, sweat and tears raised to the power of you
And since we both give it to all, it is inversely received by just us two
It's the rate of instinct, the highest power of dedication
It's The Derivative Of God, our Angle Of Elevation
To me, It's only known as you, the constant known as my better half
It's not hard to figure out, are you ready to do the math

I like this one as much as the other version, but it has more of the feel of lyrics. I can see adding a kick chorus to this and running with it. Great writes, both Eric.

SO VERY many wonderful lines in this half, Eric..."It's emotion and devotion intersected by stress and pain" and " Faith Times Forgiveness, The Product Of The Word" ~ Faving this one. Your use of Math terms takes Love to the nth power!
