you're that biological catalyst that alters, speeds up (our) reactions.
with you, the fastened heartbeats, the holding of hands, the chaste kisses--
they all sped up.


with a snap, you've gotten me,
all feverish affections strong and thick.
you've got me, got me!


i am that substrate bound,
bound to your tantalizing active site.
what possessed me to persist staying there,
i'll never find out.


but i forgot, you're an enzyme,
and enzymes never change its form
when they've altered its substrate.


and silly as i was,
pitiful little substrate,
reduced to that of a broken form,
in just a snap, *snap!
