Remove The One

Remove The One

What went wrong?

We were so right.

I can’t believe you went and left.

A straight 180.

Boxed out.

(Anything + Everything) else but myself.

Left out the equation.

Like parallel lines, we just don’t meet.

My addition was 100%, but it wasn’t reflected.

Asymmetrical emotions.

How cruel is long division?

How frustrating are the missing characters?

Remove the one.

Its done, you are gone.
