Almost

Updated: Jul 22, 2019

I Almost smiled.

You Almost made me smile.

I almost let you have me.

I almost gave it away.

You Almost figured me out.

I Almost committed myself.

I Almost fell over.

I Almost didn't come back.

I Almost walked and almost crawled to get back to you.

I was Almost desperate and it was Almost love.


Until it wasn't.

Until we weren't.

I stopped halfway. You kept coming.

I turned around. You plunged forward.

I was walking and you were running.

Then I turned around, put my hand up and said "STOP!!"



"You Almost had me. I Almost fell."

I Almost crawled, walked to you."


But you don't have me. Almost is only half. Almost means you don't get me.

I actually walk away. You Almost come after, until you decide not to.
