I’ll never forget the day you came into my life. How in awe of you I was. When I look back on our beautiful journey together, I cannot understand how I survived without you. You’re the last thing I think of before I close my eyes at night, and the first thing I long for upon awakening.
You keep me going during moments of intense personal conflict, unease or sadness. The banal complexities of binomial expansions are enlightened by your presence; titration calculations become dynamic oceans of possibility when you’re on my mind. Your biology is sensational; magical chains and bonds disguised in all forms, ensconced into my daily routines.
How simply you are put together, yet so much power you confer. Who could imagine the extraordinary omnipotence of something so small, so vital? The building block of life itself.
You are mouth-watering and delicious; you transform my body, integrating yourself into my very core, bestowing vitality, energy and strength – a lifeline for the sick, the weak and the vulnerable.
We can do anything together. No mountain is too high, no valley too low; the sky is the limit when we’re together… you’ll never know how much you’ve changed my life; picking me up when I was down, imparting might, vigour and protection when I needed it most. Your capacity to change a life bewilderingly easy, yet unknown to so many; how lost I would have been without you each day.
You’re my lifetime partner, my one and only… my protein.
