How much longer will we hurt?

Two nights ago
i was so scared
i thought we were through
i felt so much pain.

i thought about you
you thought about her.
we wanted the pain
there was no cure.

we only wanted hurt
we only wanted tears
to leave and never come back was our biggest fear.

we told the truth for once
we felt the guilt seep through the walls.
the tears that i shed
the pain that vibrated through your body.

then we decided that we were better off together.
only...
how long do we have to face this?
