Clashing Egos

Clinging on to something that's 
been gone for so long
Grasping at straws
Just to feel that feeling
that was once so strong
How much longer will we hold on
Until we realize there's no way
to right our wrongs?
Wanting so badly to just go back
to before we let our insecurities 
& fears define how we'd act
A love & passion so consuming 
it felt like magic
Now we both sit in silence, 
knowing this is more than tragic 
It hurts hearing your thoughts 
that you're no longer positive
that we'll forever last
Trying to get number &
number with every shot & blast
....but the high never lasts
Here comes the comedown
when our ego's ALWAYS clash
Kuz we're stuck, stagnant 
in our ed up past 
I just wana move forward & grow, like we both know
is the direction we needa go
Our love is too REAL
 & too captivating
 to try not to really feel
This  is tha real deal
..so what's our fckn deal?
Its like...
we legit got no more time to steal
