The Poetry of Parallel Lines

I stumbled across this the other day and I found it rather poetic, in a melancholic sort of way.

I can’t help but imagine the unrequited love between two parallel lines, destined never to meet. Or the brief moment of passion as two lines meet before moving further apart throughout all eternity.

It must be getting close to Valentine’s Day!
