Almost Our

Title: Almost Ours

We were never really something,

But it felt like everything to me.

Just a glance across the hallway,

And I swore the world would freeze.

You teased me like a secret,

Stole my ruler, stole my air,

Now you’re holding someone else,

But it still don’t feel fair.

I see your face in my sleep,

Cuddled close, like you’re with me,

Even though I never could call you mine…

I still rewind—

'Cause we were almost love,

Almost flames,

You were almost the one

Who’d erase my pain.

Now you’re hers, and I’m just

A thought you don’t chase,

But I still miss your smile

Like it touched my face.

We were nothing, but it still hurts,

You and me… we were almost ours.

When you cried, I was the first there,

Said, “Are you okay?”—and meant it deep.

In a room full of strangers,

You still pulled something from me.

And every time we locked eyes,

Felt like something we both knew,

But silence took our spark

Before it ever bloomed.

Now I’m dreaming every night,

Pulling you close under soft light,

Even if you never feel it too…

I still ache like it’s true.

'Cause we were almost love,

Almost flames,

You were almost the one

Who’d erase my pain.

Now you’re hers, and I’m just

A thought you don’t chase,

But I still miss your smile

Like it touched my face.

We were nothing, but it still hurts,

You and me… we were almost ours.

Maybe in another life,

Maybe if I looked like her,

But I’d still be the one

To ask if you’re hurt.

And when I dream of us in bed,

Your arms around me, your chest to my head—

I swear it feels so real…

Too real to forget.

We were almost love,

Almost fate,

You were almost the one

Who could’ve stayed.

Now I’m dreaming in echoes,

You’re a ghost I can’t lose,

Still holding on to

The pieces of you.

We were nothing, but it still scars,

You and me…

We were almost ours.
