The Problem With Love
Reveries reveries
 
 Im praying that you’ll remember me…
 
 But for your sake I erased me from your memory
 
 Cause pain=love.
 
 I took myself out the equation, substituted the man up above.
 
 But the calculator read Love < God.
 
 God touches things that sometimes love cannot
 
 But why I thought
 
 As I put myself back in the equation
 
 If i want to solve for pain I’ll need a demonstration
 
 If I want love without pain I’ll need perfection
 
 And as long as I’ve been living God’s the only thing in question
 
 Who lives up to this title
 
 The response I was given made me feel like a child
 
 It responded, you’re mistaken if perfect’s what u thought
 
 That is impossible, but see I am not.
 
 And what you seek you’ll never find
 
 Cause even my love, you’ll learn, isn’t kind
 
 Remember this time, when you are feelings some pain
 
 And in the future try to refrain
 
 From solving problems with complex reasons
 
 Sometimes it’s simple just like changing a season.
 
 The leaves must die so they can be reborn
 
 Calamity means nothing unless you’ve weathered a storm.
 
 And then it hit me
 
 My love epiphany
 
 The solution was Pain=you.
 
 And for all factors and all real number that remained true
 
 And our life can be syllogized to serve as the proof
 
 And conversely me does not equal you
 
 However me + you = love that’s true.
 
 But the pain on the right side can never be cancelled
 
 Because the pain makes us stronger
 
 The problem with love has been answered.
