Let the Love Shine Through

I know you less than yesterday and 
for this reason, I must go;
For, I reminisce the closeness that 
We no longer show.
Time has shown us no amends for 
That feeling gown astray,
And we cannot keep on going 
Pretending not to be that way.
We used to be friends, not just 
Lovers in the night
Together, we’d laugh and play
Now, all we do is fight.
And, we mustn’t be imprisoned by
Shadows of love past
But maturely both admit
Our love just didn’t last.
We both shield our hearts, so
They’ll never hurt again
Let go instead of holding on and 
Here again, we must pretend.
Maybe someday, We’ll learn to 
Let our love shine through
But as for me, now’s not the time
Or maybe not with you.
