Telling Myself Lies

It's 12:00 a.m.
I'm lying with my eyes wide open
My mind filled with thoughts of you
They just won't leave me alone

I tell myself that I'm over you
That I'm not hurting anymore
That what I felt for you wasn't real
But each time I realize more and more that they're all lies

It's true I'm not over you,
I'm hurting deep inside where no one can see it,
What I felt for you was real,
And I still miss you more than ever...

Great portrayal of those who can't move on. Telling yourself I'm over you yet deep down you still love him. Ouch. Very nice poem. Keep going.
