Langston Hughes - Problems

2 and 2 are 4.
4 and 4 are 8.

But what would happen
If the last 4 was late?

And how would it be
If one 2 was me?

Or if the first 4 was you
Divided by 2?

This is a love poem. About two people who are meant to be (in his mind) but they just cant seem to get together. They were meant to be -- Then he goes on to say What if the last four was him and he was late? Meaning -- What if he is too late to be with his beloved. What if too much time has passed.
