The Equation of Love

Now let's imagine an equation where the 2 of ‘me’ us can make a ‘we’

A + B = C

Although you think this might be us

I assure you that it means something else entirely 

And for this to be you and me,

You have to give me a part of the angelic you

And I have to give you a part off the devilish me

And that, we know is not happening my lovely 



Now, how about we rewrite the equation 

A x B =AB

This equation, although promising, will hurt 
believe me.

On paper it might look happy, but that is far from reality my lovely 

‘How’ you may ask

Well it's simple really 

I won't understand you 

And you won't understand me

In the end, we're just two factors in the same equation really…
