Biology

My first art-and-words collaboration with my sister, she did the sketch first and then I wrote the drabble...

Combining two of my loves: biology and GaaNaru :)

Enjoy...

It all comes down to biology, really. To symbiosis. To synergy.

It's all as simple as planned, the reactions (mine and yours) quickly succeed with harmony in mind, perfection, stability in this world so hostile.

It started when you saw I was just like you, when you realized we had been delivered to the same unfriendly environment and had been sculped by the same painful stimuli.

It went on when you saw that, even being the same, I was different from you, when you noticed that pain had marked me with madness while it tore an eternal smile on your lips, and you knew that something wrong had happened to me.

It had its greatest challenge when it was clear to you that our equity allied to our difference would make us unbeatable before hostility, when you decided to fight to correct my diverging from you and wrong evolution, when you finally succeeded in putting me in the right path: by your side, guided by your overwhelming light.

Now, it constantly conquers victory after victory, while we keep on learning all the little but wonderful advantages of being together, as you keep lending me your smile while I deliver all my strength to you, making us strong enough before a world that looks at us and sees just monsters in us.

We are symbiosis, because each of us has just half of a perfect heart, because we are now obligated to be this close even to just think about happiness, calm, harmony.

We are synergy, because although each one of us has his own and admirable strength, when these are combined they become more fantastic than just their rigorous and mathematical sum, they overcome all its boundaries.

We are biology, because every time you come close and press the stimuli of a million light and soft smiles with your lips upon my cheek my blood runs to it and paints it vermillion, gathers all the love and tenderness you have given me with that so simple gesture (as if they were molecules of the precious oxygen) and spreads it all over my body, floods me with a happiness I had never felt, that makes me see that we belong together, that makes me know that I'll always be an essential presence by your side, your love has already become a fundamental ingredient for my survival.

Above all, we are a force of Nature, you and me together. So lost, shy and vulnerable apart. So happy together.
