A Greater Sum

April 4, 2014

Numbers make sense

I may not really know much

But I can be sure 1+1=2

Every time.

But if you switch 1 to me

And 1 to you

Then it's all mixed up

And I get all confused

And at the end of it all

It looks like everything is

Muddled

But this I know:

1 + your smile= my heart beating fast

And 1 + your bad jokes means that I laugh

And this one thing holds true most of all:

Time spent - you = time wasted

And I know that I don't need to know

That you + me

Can be a mystery

That we solve along our way

That we can constantly discover

Something much greater

Than the sum of its parts
