True love will never be a question you're afraid to ask – it's one you feel you already know the answer to.
You gave everything to him. Time, heart, dreams, even the pieces of yourself that you don't give to others. You understood him and waited to see what he would do with the things you gave him.
But he just left it, not looking at it.
It's not because he didn't see the value. He did, but he didn't want to take on responsibility for something that was so important and so real.
(Love doesn't shy away from the times you need it most. It comes closer.)
If he wanted to, he would have spent the nights listening to you, even when your voice cracked on the phone. If he wanted to, he would have remembered the things you didn't think were important – how you can't sleep without music, how you love books but hate endings, and how you carry the things you don't say.
If he wants you, you don't have to explain over and over what you need, then later focus on just noticing the silence. You won't be worrying about whether you're important to him.
But he didn't. And that's the answer you don't want to accept.
