they say that a perfect number
is a positive integer
equal to the sum of all positive divisors
does it mean then
as you and i came together
everything adds up
however which way you look at it
perfection is more than enough?
as variables we may be
numbers in disguise
x and y, it seems,
may never mix up
one thing, still, will make us real
balancing the negatives and positives
all in one line
if we are x and y
where x becomes you
and i become y
no matter what equation
or complicated expression
only one true formula
will form our perfect square
as your x and my i
is raised to the power of two
our love is magnified
our love is real, forever true
