Minus One

*written in 2008 in my head while driving home from work*

                                 I was thinking about this world
                                 without you
                                 Six Billion Minus One

                                 Like the summer
                                 without the sun
                                 I was thinking of you
                                 Minus One

                                I was thinking of the future
                                without you
                                Endless possibilities Minus One

                                Like a math equation
                                without a sum
                                Without you,
                                the answer is Minus One
                                I was thinking of a miracle
                                without you
                                Blind faith Minus One

                                Like a father
                                without his son
                                His memories,
                                Minus One

                                I was walking a winding road
                                talking to myself
                                Like the summer
                                without the sun
                                I felt so empty
                                Minus One

                                I was thinking of a symphony
                                without you
                                An imperfect harmony
                                Minus One
                                I was asking too many questions
                               Where did I go wrong
                               Who have I become

                                I was thinking of this world
                                without you
                                Six Billion Minus One
                                 I could cry
                                I could laugh

                               Thinking of my life
                                without you

                               Minus One half
