Almost

He almost loved me,
He almost looked me in the eye,
He almost needed me,
He almost promised never to say goodbye.

He almost touched me,
He almost held my hand,
He almost kissed my lips,
He almost let my feet graze the sand.

Almost is the word,
That strikes me like a knife,
Almost is the word,
That made me, for weeks, want to take my life.

He almost walked faster out of my life,
Then he did in,
He almost didnâ??t leave me for her,
He almost didnâ??t commit this sin.

I almost didnâ??t need him,
I almost didnâ??t cry,
I almost walked away,
I almost said goodbye.

He almost broke my heart,
But I wonâ??t let almost ruin my life,
I almost ran back to him,
But I got through this painful strife.

I found someone new,
He is not an almost kind of guy,
And if he said he loved me,
It wouldnâ??t be a lie.
