Love is an Equation.

(a song)

With every new friendship, and all its entice,

Love doesn’t decrease, it just multiplies,

With every passing of breath, in that ending demise,

Life doesn’t cease; it’s just a compromise.

(chorus)

Love is an equation,

A moment of sudden elation,

The pause before persuasion.

A catch of breath before it falls.

*

When we fall in love again, even not young at all,

We be all as young children, when love it comes to call,

And though it be many reasons, and maybe any cause,

The hunger it never ceases, it’s just a long, lonely pause.

(chorus)

Love is an equation,

A moment of sudden elation,

The pause before persuasion.

A catch of breath before it falls.

*

If we are awaiting answers, like a bus before it calls,

We could be waiting forever, like a spoilt expectant fool,

For love it gives no reason, allows no compromise,

It gifts and takes at leisure, its own delightful surprise.

(chorus)

Love is an equation,

A moment of sudden elation,

The pause before persuasion.

A catch of breath before it falls.

*

So park yourself in silence, hold your faith in resistance,

Give no quarter in assistance, no part of you in resilience,

Take what is offered freely, and beg no more greedily,

For all that is given to you, could as easily be taken away.

(chorus)

Love is an equation,

A moment of sudden elation,

The pause before persuasion.

A catch of breath before it falls.

*

With every new relationship, and all that it implies,

Love doesn’t decrease at all, it just multiplies,

With the passing of a final breath, in our ending demise,

Life doesn’t cease at all; it’s just a forever compromise.
