The rules of mathematics don't apply
to love and pain. For then, my friend, you'd see
that a+b should not be undefined,

but a+b should equal you + me.
Moreover, you are blithely unaware
of anything that we could ever be.

I cannot seem to find the perfect square.
These complicated formulas and graphs
bewilder me and leave me in despair.

"If only you could do the simple math,
then maybe we could be an ordered pair."
Please teach me how to do the simple math.
