Diamonds

I can never forget    
All the tears that were wept  
Since that moment we couldn't define    
    
How much that we meant    
To each other and yet,    
We continued dividing our lives.    
   
We were bound for much greater    
Things but we let our    
Egos create such a mess,    
   
Leaving behind    
The scene of a crime,    
Where we cracked to the pressure and stress.    
   
But given some time    
To strengthen and find,    
We were diamonds that shined in the wreck,    
   
And look at us now,    
Far better than how,    
We could ever imagined have been.    
   
All it took was a chip,    
A bit of hardship,    
And the courage to realize    
We're fine,    
   
Still living and able,    
We're mentally stable,    
And sharing in our peace of mind.
