Ordering Chaos

Rich and Young

If you had loved me less
You would not have watched me
Walk away sad.
You would have stopped me
Embarrassed and repentant
If you had loved me less.

If you had loved me less
You would have sold me—

• a subscription
• a lifetime membership
• a Friends&Family™ Plan
• a cure for the inner void

If you had loved me less.

If you had loved me less
You would not have brought up
The one thing I lacked.
You would have told me,
“The meaning is in the journey.”
If you had loved me less.

If you had loved me less
I would not have to guess.
Nor would I be so poor,
If I had loved you more.
