I was good with numbers,
signs 
and calculations
until you came.

I can add
subtract
multiply
and divide numbers
with ease. 
Until you asked me
to add time
subtract fears
multiply goals
and divide love.

I was even careful
with the signs
if we were positive
or negative
or null.

Then I carefully measured everything;
spaces,
emotions,
this feeling we shared
until you said counting loses its purpose
when things just dont work.

I guess
all I wanted to say
is that I'm sorry
for pretending to know
when the proof is strong
that I really don't understood Math
when it comes to you.
