-
Are you made of quarks and leptons? Because you’re elementary to my happiness.
-
I must be a CRISPR enzyme, because I feel like I was made to edit your genes into my future.
-
Are you dark matter? Because you may be invisible, but you hold my universe together.
-
You must be a gravitational wave—because you just made my heart ripple through spacetime.
-
Are you a PCR machine? Because you just amplified my feelings.

1. If we were like chromosomes, you’d be my homologous pair.
2. Did you damage my cerebellum? Because I’m falling all over the place for you.
3. I’m confused because you look like a knockout and a wild-type.
4. Are you a carbon sample? Because I want to date you.
5. You must be the one for me, since my selectively permeable membrane let you through.
