Tangent

Two lines, looking for answers 
Who dared to cross different planes 
They gambled with numbers and letters 
Searching for x in sun and rain 
 
From east to west, they tried to find  
They also tried from north to south 
The value of x they'd always mind 
They cried all night just to be figured out 
 
And so one day, before they finally give up 
They crossed again the crest 
And there their lives have touched mayhap 
That was the first yet also the last 
 
So tragic and so odd 
Their lives have met yet then parted 
O life is really so sad 
It just divides anything united
