 * and yet *
All the words and imagery
All paint and ink of world
Cannot forgive or convey
Why a girl might love a boy
Why the love might start
How far it might extend
Nor pick a time or place
Where such love might end
Crunch all the numbers
Statistics grow chart and label
None of them are truly able
To say why a girl loves a boy
How long how deeply
How truthfully nor how ably
Nor the same for a boy loves a girl
And yet they do.
