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
