i don't ever know what to expect from you

1. We are only humans. And we are the biggest mystery this world has. God created us and science explained us.

2. I am not much for science but I know what they have taught me. And it seems like making poetry out of science is a scandal.

3. However, our tears are salty, because they consist of positive and negative ions. So you can cry of joy and sorrow.

4. Moreover, did you know that our brain is numb when it comes to pain? I guess that is why our head never hurts no matter how much the ones, who broke us, stay there.

5. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades. No wonder the thousands of butterflies I had for you died, so suddenly.

6. And I do not worry about spitting your name when I hear it. Because during lifetime I have enough saliva to fill two swimming pools and drown you in them.

7. We are made of seven octillions atoms and there are only 3 billion stars in the universe. I guess we are a galaxy they envy.

8. And we don’t even realize that the stars are actually bowing for us.
