Wide Awake

"Does he love me?
No, for he never told me so.
It was all in my mind,
Neglecting the signs,
As if I'm blind.
I'm accepting it now,
'Cause if his love was true,
Doubt won’t linger, but it grew.
If he truly cared, he would have shown,
And now, I would not be alone.
It's been so long, yet I am still dreaming.
My silent tale has come to its ending.
I was never loved; there, I chose to speak the truth.
Finally, I'm wide awake."
