Loving the Living Or the Dead

Which is worse I ask myself
I still can't decide
You want what you can't have
They both hurt inside

My best friend died this weekend
The loss to my kids was great
But a greater loss lives miles away
The man who is my soul mate

I can't have either
So what am I to do
I am stronger than this
God will guide me through

Will someone out there
Ever love just me
Time will only tell
I have all of eternity
