Love among peers misunderstood by many.
Chemically Lovestruck
At dinner parties, they edged away,
Bored as he expounded on sublimation.
He'd even paired it with chemical decay,
But clearly, he fumbled the invitation.
He slumped rejected, swirling his drink,
When he heard talk of periodic tables.
Flirtatiously she smiled, gave a wink!
And they left,
Together,
As soon as able.
