Science of Love

I do not know the reason as to why I love you,
Though there are things I know reasons as to why I do.
I know for instance love is unseen and so is the air I breathe.
But with the air I know it’s about oxygen and carbon dioxide.

I also know all living organisms function and develop
Because of the genetic instructions contained 
In the deoxyribonucleic acid.
And is based on adenines, cytosines, guanines and thymines.

However, as I research to know the science of this love,
I have come to find out that some things are,
Simple to the heart, complicated to the mind.
And of all the reasons that make me love you,
None is strong enough to explain why I truly love you.
So now I am certain the true reason is I love you.

You know what they say now that it is all about scent and chemicals etc. Love has been shot down but not really.I believe in old fashioned love. Another thought, CAG the part of the DNA if improperly coded wrecks havoc on the body. Interesting. Keep writing. Sara
