You helped me with my calculus,
And told me about tangent lines
Which meet for a while,
Then go their separate ways
In biology you gave me a microscope
Showed me a piece of my hair, and said
“See, these ends are where my fingers get stuck.”
And proceeded to tell me how our bodies
Are constantly changing, making new cells
You even knew some psychology
And explained why I felt butterflies around you
All those neurotransmitters bouncing around
Making me happy in the presence of you
You showed me so many things
I thought you could teach me anything
And be the answer to all of my questions
You never taught me what to do in your absence
