We Don't Add Up to Good

a poem about an old flame

I would run right back to you

Just as quickly as I could

If I thought for one second

That things would turn out good

But nothing good could be

At least not from you and me

As no matter what we do

We don't add up to good

And I doubt we ever could

Sometimes the attraction can be great, but the union can spell trouble. Some people just aren’t compatible. That’s how this piece speaks to me Jim. All the best Jim.

Thanks so much. Yes, that is exactly where it is coming from. Just not compatible, despite intense attraction. ~Jim
