Is it better to have a love lost,
Not knowing about the other side?
To have a deep hole in your heart,
To keep what was lost in the past,
And always wonder, ‘what if?’
Or to have it come back,
Haunt you
And realize it was true,
Always has been
And he’s thinking of you, too.
With thousands of miles away
You both have commitments,
There’s no future,
Only the present moment
And the lingering love you still carry.
The pain is great either way—
My heart is aching and beating more
Than it has ever before.
