Minus the mind games

If you subtract the negative thoughts
And added words of encouragement
Times the moments when nothing was enough
You can have a friendship
When you take away all the sad times
And make them up with tears of laughter
Split the chores and duties by two
You have found the square root of love.

As time passed,
We grew old together,
