Before the worst

If there's any chance,

Of getting back what we had,

We need to go back,

Before the madness began.

We need to get to a place,

Before the worst tore us down,

When our biggest concern,

Was how far apart were our towns.

Before the worst,

Is where we need to go,

Only then can we mend this bridge,

Of this I am sure.

Our hearts are still one,

Like it or not,

And back before the worst,

Is the resolution we want.

Closed off we were,

Hiding away a part of ourselves from the world,

We brought that part out in one another,

And cherished it all.

Before the worst,

Is where the answers lie,

Only then can we be whole again,

But it will take a bit of time.
