Love let Less

Isaiah Patton

When I thought you would be the one I'd finally let love me

I realized it was all just a phase

All the "I Love You"'s lost in a gaze

And I'd like to refrain all my prior statements

I'm not sure if I'll ever recover from the painstaking

Loss of the love that we created

I turned around and realized you were the one that hated

Me just as much as the man in the reflection

Afraid of my voice

Working on my inflection

Pondering and questioning your decision

I thought that I'd never see the vision

Then I was finally let in on the secret

You moved on to a point where I say you retreated

But it opened the door for something new

Between me and you, you and him

The truth is grim

And I open my eyes to my one true love

I thank you for opening my eyes

To the love let less

The love I'd lost

Love let loss.
