    It's really a love story. Two vastly different elements, sharing an electron. I haven't gotten this misty-eyed since I saw that movie where the dogs come together sharing the same strand of spaghetti.

    Well call me a nerd because I love your haiku. A great approach to the prompt and challenge. And I guess something is in the nerdy air because I just called "water" di-hydrogen mono-oxygen in my entry for the Reset Your Password challenge.
