**Arithmetic**
(for "you know who")
Five hundred fifty days later
And you change your mind about me,
Five hundred forty nine nights in a Life we created
With a promise to share our love for eternity
Now my dear, I'm no mathematician
But I think you'll agree all the same,
That I'm owed much more than 1 phone call break-up
And too many untruths unearthed to begin to name
13 thousand twenty seven hundred long hours,
8-dozen bouquets of exotic orange flowers
9 "unique" love songs dedicated to me,
2 trips to foreign countries I'd never before seen
3 hundred dollar bills for long distance phone calls and texting,
2 many nights spent awake laughing instead of resting
80 cups of Sunday morning coffee shared,
With 1 teaspoon of cream and sugar is how you liked yours prepared
27 weekends at "our" spot spent wining and dining,
12 thousand miles of road trips never felt a bit tiring
8 thousand kisses permeated with passion,
2-much love I showered upon you and didn't think to ration
31 hundred emails, 5 cards and 7 letters,
99 voice messages and 4 Chanel sweaters
21 seconds 'til your Benz's roof slipped,
62 stories above Chicago and L.A., the finest champagne on our lips
1 million "I love you baby's" ; together, we learned how to ski,
10 holidays spent with our families; 2 times skinny dipping in the sea
6 times fighting, but making up within the hour,
6 times we almost broke up, but made up in the shower
11 pet names and 1 thousand dreams shared
1 last phone call to end our affair
So subtract me from you
And what do you get----
1 foolish "%$@*"
and a lifetime of regret
