Relationship Math

They say one is the loneliest number, And two heads are better than one. But I say -1 is worse, Because then you know what’s missing. They say it is better to have loved and lost, Then to never have loved at all But they also say ignorance is bliss, And knowing is half the battle [Go Joe!] The hell that is loss, Is greater than lonely. So I say screw them/they. Learn to love yourself- The only one who will be there for life… Without you +1 or -1 doesn’t matter… (It all averages out in the end…)
