Love Holds No Record


A bruise has marked our friendship

The plant has lost its seed

The sky seems to lose its color

My heart for you, it bleeds.

 

A green-eyed monster has escaped

And I’m no longer under your embrace

And to see that smile fade off your face

Is like the sun leaving for the night.

 

The rose petals, we left behind

And our grudges we kept them close,

We left the good and kept the wrong

For jealousy has done its job.

 

But to keep these records will lead us to disgrace

Therefore, let us leave the wrong, and forgive the past,

Because Forgiveness is not a force, but a choice

And to forgive, we’ll find a way.

 

For love holds no record,

And it does not perish in jealousy.

Issues will confront us, but we will be stronger than them,

Because love is strong and endures all.

 

An apology marks our faces,

Once again our fingers twined together.

Because I love you, I will be better,

And we shall continue to persist.

 

Oh little sister, with eyes like diamonds

With a smile that makes my heart beat faster,

I ask for us to never fight again

But to love each other until the end.

 

And to always leave the past untouched,

Never hugging the grudges close to our hearts,

For these break up our peaceful minds

And leave us locked up in the dark.

 

Forgiveness is the key

That opens that wretched lock,

And once we do we’ll see,

That love holds no record for you and me.
