Never quite
understood

(you understand me)

the algebra
of your smile

or how that certain little look
added up

to so much more
than itself

that je ne sais quoi of you
(not making mathematical sense)

but I instantly
got to grips with

(always preferred hands on
to the more theoretical stuff)

the lovely geometry
of your body

instinctively understanding
each curve

the parabola of a yes
becoming a kiss

(your absolutely stunning
hypotenuse)

me knowing only that
the one & one of us is

& will always be

just too

too

...much!

Apparently this date makes it a square root day(only 9 of them this century) so Maths boffins long for them to come(and then they are gone!) . I wrote this on this 'day of days'(hence it's title) but thought(much too much) of the 'other things' that(oh!) you do do...so well!
