If life was like math...

If life was like math, it wouldn't matter how many problems you had. There would always be solutions.

If life was like math, it would only require a calculator and some common sense to be able to know for sure if any decision you made was correct or incorrect.

If life was like math, inequalities would exist, but by eighth grade, everyone would know the simple formula to solve them.

If life was like math, you would learn something new every year, but each new discovery would simply be an extension of something comfortable and familiar.

If life was like math, you would always get partial credit for showing you worked hard, even when you made stupid mistakes.

If life was like math, the concept of "identity" wouldn't be any more complicated than x=y.

If life was like math, it would be easy to tell the difference between what is rational and what is not, what is real and what is imaginary, what is positive and what is negative.

If life was like math, every person, every experience, and everything in life, no matter how negative they may seem, would have an absolute value that was completely positive.

If I...

If I hugged you,
would you never let go?

If I kissed you,
would you cherish that moment?

If I reached for your hand,
would you take mine gently?

If I needed a shoulder,
would you let me cry on yours?

If I needed to talk,
would you really listen?

If I needed to scream,
would you do it with me?

If I needed to go,
would you come with me?

If I fell for you,
would you catch me?
or just let me hit the pavement?

happilly ever after

robbing hearts of couples
changing love to hate

pledging love forever
failing often, we
are taking steps to sever
unavoidably

tearing hearts wide open
leaving wounds undressed
soal lost in the battle
feeling never blessed

children often shuttled
one house to the next
Father looking East
Mother heading West

God's grand plan in action
nature taking course
happily ever after
ending in divorce
