Engineer's Valentine

I was alone and all was dark
beneath me and above.
My life was full of volts and amps
but not the spark of love.
But now that you are here with me
my heart is overjoyed
you turn the square of my heart
into a sinosoid
you load things from my memory
onto my system's bus
my life was once assembly code
now it's C++
I love the way you solder things
my aging circuits you can fix
The voltage across your diode is
much more than just point six
With your amps and resistors
you have built my integrator
I doubt I can survive without you
you are my function generator
You have charged my life
increased my gain
and made my math discrete
and now I'll end my poem here
Control, alt and delete
