Something must be wrong with my addition because this shit ain't adding up.
I'm trying to be yours, figure you out, and I keep coming back with no luck.
I get it. You're really not used to a guy like me.
I'm trying hard to be your man, Like MasterCard, I'm everywhere you want me to be.
I let you ask, and like Domino's, it's yours in 30 minutes.
Where they do that at, didn't I say something was wrong with my addition?
You're like a math problem that I can't solve, a car with no key.
I believe you could have any guy in the world, and for reason you chose me.
I can see much in you. You're brilliant, sexy, and classy.
When you go into BITCH mode, I'm sorry baby, you can get NASTY.
I'm enjoying getting to know you day by day.
I hope you're in it for a while, I guess I want you to stay.
I'm getting closer to solving the equation and I think I've found the formula.
It's trust multiplied by love divided by passion, now I'm your fella.
Until I figure your out, I'll just continue to show my work.
You're a very important person in my life and your heart, I'll never hurt.
And you know it's real!

This song ministered to me because it gave direct insight on a situation that I was experiencing. I was in LOVE, by myself. There was an agreement to just, "be friends". In the song, there's a line that said, "if I can't have you the way I want you, I don't want you at all." So there it is. Throughout the relationship that I was in, there was a strong time strain. No time for me. No time for us. I can remember a conversation, "...you're not a priority. You're simply on a to-do list." One would think that even sane man would have left then, right? Not my stupid ass. SMH. Th...
