The 1 That Matters

You became my wife. I became your husband. And together, we became one." One? So marriage originally was 1 + 1 = 1. Physicians discovered a force that drew two 1s together called Love. Mathematians later found a way to add other variables to the equation and still give the final answer as 1. It's called the Infidelity Theorem. Scientists found a way to split 1 and take it back to 1 and 1 in a process called Divorce. Doctors fail to cure the disease that often leaves 1 by itself and takes the other 1, Death. It all goes back to the 1. The 1 that loves the other 1; The 1 that hurts the other 1; the the 1 that has the other 1s; or the 1 that leaves the other 1. In the end, Humans still have this crazy ability to experience something's and Betrayal is the worst something of them all. Hurt, is a close second.
