The Cliché

You know that you are special,
   my half, my other twin.
   but time is not with us,
   it seems it has never been.
 
I know it isn't easy
   but perhaps it's for the best.
   I just need to be alone.
   Can we stop for a while and give it a rest?

My heart is not yet ready
    for this battle so soon.
    Maybe someday it will be,
    but right now it's singing out of tune.

You have heard it long before,
    perhaps many times more.
    It's not you, it's me.
    I am not yet your heart's key.
