I can't talk about our love story

I can’t talk about our love story


 

I can’t talk about our love story, 

so I will talk about math. 

I am not a mathematician, 

but I know this: There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. 

 

There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers 

between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. 

 

Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. 

A writer we used to like taught us that. 

There are days, many of them, 

when I resent the size of my unbounded set. 

 

I want more numbers than I’m likely to get. 

But, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am 

for our little infinity. 

I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

 

You gave me a forever within the numbered days, 

and I’m grateful.

 

John Green, The Fault in Our Stars, 2012
