Simple Math

Eighteen years of failure
Equals nineteen years of pain
Nothing to accomplish
Equals nothing more to gain

Two years of restriction
Equals sadness I cannot stand
Hoping our love would survive
Equals losing your loving hand

Me begging you to wait for me
Equals another route you choose
Me praying every single night
Equals another girl I lose

Finding out the wicked truth
Equals confusion I have set
Finding out you love another
Equals living with regret

Knowing I still love and care
Equals strength for me to live
Remembering your amazing smile
Equals love for me to give
*For Monica* May the smile on your face remain forever
