what if i told you i loved you,

would that have changed anything?

would have it been a different story?

we were this almost,

but it was never enough 

not for them,

not for us.

i almost told you i loved you,

you almost loved me.

i almost believed you, 

you almost stayed.

we were an almost, 

could have been, 

something that never was,

in love. 

– there was never more of a heartbreaking word than ‘almost’
