In this world made up of characters from lines and figures,
there was a boy who stood out from the rest, a little bit special.
He was to others what the goddess Spes was to the Romans,
they who believed in discovering the imaginary by reaching for infinity.
They admired his resilience and worshipped his quest for romance,
vintage Shakespeare they mused, of two criss-crossed lovers.
For without pain, there shall be no gain,
and in absence of love there shall be absence of life.
Yet life dealt a cruel blow to their sutured hopes,
when they realized it was never to be their fairytale special.
Where they used to be a thousand miles apart, it was but a hundred now,
yet a million it truly seemed, in this union that defied all natural laws.
Even parallel lines shall meet one day, she whispered as mist filled her eyes,
but only silenced greeted her - a mute testimony to their tragic fate.
This is the story with a happily-never ending;
He was her asymptote, and she was his line.

Ever since I realized the sad significance behind the meaning of the word 'asymptote', I have been wanting to express it in some prose or story. Took me an hour or so and it's finally done (:
