What it Takes to Move on

I'd wake up at the earliest of hours for you,
Just to know if you were thinking about me too.
Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to stay true,
Even when moving on from him is all I want to do?

Help me out please.
It's so hard to feel at ease,
When all I want is to leave.
Did you know that unrequited hearts are my biggest pet peeve?

I'd wait for your answer for a few more weeks,
If only I knew that at the end, you would speak.
Hope makes me weak,
But I'm tired of my same old acceptance, I think.

I say I think because I am not sure.
After all, I always seem to go back for more.
If this love was truly such a bore,
I wouldn't be here anymore.

Help me to move on from him.
If I don't move fast, once more he'll win.
I'm being hasty, I know, but I need this to be more than just a whim.
If love was a game of patience, mine has worn thin.

Please think of me.
Whatever you saw, please continue to see.
They say third time's the charm, and you're number three.
Please don't leave this heart be.
