How to tell the boy in your math class that you love him


I can't seem to make you understand

So I'll put it in simple terms:

 

Like x and y

I can't function without you.

And all the little things I like about you,

They add up.

The way you laugh,

It makes me feel whole.

Like 1, 2 and 3.

 

I've counted all the ways

I could tell you how I feel.

But I've come up with no solution.

It's embarrassing, really

I'm better with numbers

Than I am with people.

 

But, I'm pushing through.

I'm determined to get my message out.

I know you'll understand me when I say:

 

Though my words may seem extraneous

My feelings were instantaneous

I just need a sine--

Won't you please be mine?

 

From,

The girl sitting in the back, third row from the left
