I Drew Two Lines in the Sand With a Stick and Said They Were Us

This is my life, this is yours.
Two lines in the sand
Existing in parallel,
Bound by nature to never cross.
Will we ever meet again?
Point and laugh at reason,
Then chart a new point of intersection?
We could be more.
We could invent new formulae,
Just hit the reset button with me.
My hand hovers over it,
I just need you to put yours over mine
And we can begin again at the origin.
I don’t want to be just a moment in time for you,
A throwaway name in the credits of your life.
We can be costars, can't we?
May our lines overlap
So I can give the rest of my life to be with you.
With you, I know no limit.
We are as close to infinite
And with every second I spend with you,
My understanding expands with it
To the point I am overflowing.
Love, it seems, is as close to infinity as it gets.
