Photosynthesis

To My Dearest Light Reaction,
My once meaningful life has lost purpose when I lost you. Please take me back, my love. These pass few weeks have been so painful and everything has become waste in the world without us together. They need you. I need you… I literally can no longer function without you, but also my soul cannot breathe without your love, and your ATP and electrons. My CO2 cannot do it alone. It takes two to tango, and it takes two to make sweet, sweet glucose. I know it’s hard. You being in the thylakoid membrane and me in the stroma, but baby, nothing can keep me from you. I worry that you aren’t returning my phone calls because you think I am undergoing photosynthesis with someone else. I’d have to be crazy! Lunatic! To do that with someone else, when I already have the best reaction in the whole chloroplast! In the whole plant! In the whole Universe! You may not need me to produce O2 for cellular respiration, but sweetie, if you want some sugar you need me. We will always need each other and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They way you use light energy and water to produce 02, ATP and electrons would send shivers down my spine if I had one. The chemistry between us when your electrons and ATP meet with my CO2 was magical. Sparks flew! And I know you felt it too, so come back to me, honey! I need you!
Yours truly,
Calvin
