Love Equation

Love was as simple as 1, 2, 3.
It began with you. And then I added me. I thought this was the easiest question I would ever have to answer.

Then there was the fractions. The fraction of self doubt, will he stay with me forever, will he love the true me and will he understand the emotions that continually come to the surface.

Trying to divide to make it easier, I came up with decimal points. The little periods that come in between numbers that made me question whether or not the fractions and dividends were even the same. The wanting to chase your dreams but wondering if the dream of him is something worth chasing. The way the friendly hellos to others only meant that, and not that he was losing faith in "us."

So I added a y, and a x, to try and figure out the missing piece to find out what love had to do with a confused heart. I moved the love to the other side, more kisses, more "I love you's" and then moved over the confused heart to the other side hoping that it was a waking up on the wrong side of the bed kind of thing.

When that didn't work I decided to square everything, making the numbers larger, harder to work with. If it was too hard to work with then I could move onto the next question. Let it go and decide to come back to it later.

And then you came back along. Having the answer to the equation. The one little thing that the question was missing.... you wanting me.
