EQUATIONS

We were sitting
In a garden
Of those circles, once more
You and me
Me and you
You and me equals
Two

I'd been called out
To retrieve you
Or relieve them?...was never
sure,
Or to stand up while you sat
down
While you logged out,
Ran
From more...

You and me
Me and you
They and we, equals
Three

Then, I would come to
Our garden
And you would comfort
My pain
Assure me and,
Assure me
Never...ever...
Again...

Me and you
You and me
Me and you equals
We

I was tired
Of this garden
And you were tired too
Where we would listen
To the soul sighs
Of this illness
Killing you...

You and me
Me and you
You and me equals
We

But I loved you, how I loved you
All the tragedy
Of you
All that funny dry humour
That would always
Poke right through, when
Those circles
They would spin us in,
Around and around rings
And all those giggles
That would follow
All those daft and silly things...

Me and you
You and me
Me and you equals
Two

Now I miss them
All those circles
Of that green and spinning dusk
All those outrageous echoes
Of addiction and,
Love...

You and me
Me and you
You and me equals
We
