Almost

It was almost evening as we stood on the porch

On that almost fall day in the almost cool air.

Your almost smile made me almost stare

As we almost talked about something almost ideal.

Your almost interest made me almost wonder

If there was almost more to the man beside me

Than the almost ignorance you seemed to portray.

You were almost beautiful in that almost dark

During that night in the almost fall.

So close, yet so very far,

Letting me in by closing me off.

It was almost fun, but almost pain,

An almost love, sought in vain.

I knew you were almost too good to be true

As I almost fell in that almost fall air,

For your almost smile and your almost care.

An almost fire the was almost fueled

In my almost healed heart that’d been almost broken.

If there was almost more to what I’d almost felt,

There may almost be more to this almost life.

You were almost beautiful in that almost dark,

During that night in the almost fall.

So close and yet so very far,

Letting me in but closing me off.

It was almost fun but almost pain,

An almost love, sought in vain.

We were almost friends,

But your almost past

Kept our almost love

From being almost more.

You were almost beautiful in that almost dark,

During that night in the almost fall.

So close and yet so very far

Letting me in but closing me off.

It was almost fun but almost pain.

An almost love, sought in vain.
