Love Story of Romancing Twin Primes

I am a Natural Number, or atleast that was the group I belonged to. It did not take me very long to realize that I belonged to the group alright but I was different more to say I was Unique. Only the creator of natural numbers and in a way everything else "The ONE" and myself knew how unique and Gifted I was.

I started on a quest to find others like me. Initially I found quite a bunch of them 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97... They were different alright but not very social. The more I searched the more difficult they were to find(the distance between consecutive primes increases as we move towards infinity).  I went as far as 2,003,663,613 × 2195,000 - 1 when it hit me that may be I was not unique but rather weird. I was staring to feel the solitude and felt sad. I even blamed the creator.

Thats when the magic happened, I saw a beautiful girl as unique and weird as me yet different in her own way. She was happy cheerful full of bliss and non complaining unlike me about everything. I introduced myself and an unknown feeling strike me. She was the one I was looking for. She was soul mate. My "TWIN PRIME"

P.S
May be Geeky, but if one is passionate about something(Maths in this case), There is beauty and romance is it :)
