Gone too far

We will not spiral down
i'll do whatever i can to stop that
three and a half years
of emotional rollercoaster's
is enough to decide that some things
are worth the effort spent
finally it's a realization
that dawned on both of us and
with enough effort and knowledge
of the past we don't need to follow
the path laid out by others
and it's gone too far
the words that guide us
take your voice away
and i guess we can still chastise
ourselves for taking too long to discover
what everybody else already knew
and all that was needed was the opening
of the blinkered eyes long enough to
register what was in front of us all along
i can't remember worse times
than when we were apart
we won't stumble
like we did before
