Almost Love

We were almost love…

close enough to feel real…

I used to wait up just to hear your voice

Back when every call still felt like a choice

You’d pull me close with your tired hands

And for a little while I thought I’d understand

You felt like home before I had the key

Like something real was reaching back for me

We were halfway there but never all the way

Close enough to hope but too afraid to stay

You felt like home… then you felt like a question

I was stuck in the middle of love and second-guessin’

We were almost love, almost right

Almost forever in the middle of the night

You pulled me close, then faded out of sight

Almost held me like I was yours

We were almost love, almost true

Almost everything I wanted from you

I felt the spark, I felt the us

But almost love was never enough

I’m tired of feeling like I almost had you

Almost chosen, almost something true

When you were here, I felt like I was yours

But when you left, I was unsure

Halfway held, never fully claimed

You took my heart but never gave it a name

I called it patience, called it time

But almost love still broke me line by line

We were almost love, almost right

Almost forever in the middle of the night

You pulled me close, then faded out of sight

Almost held me like I was yours

We were almost love, almost true

Almost everything I wanted from you

I felt the spark, I felt the us

But almost love was never enough

I didn’t imagine what I felt

I know you felt it too

But feeling something deeply

Ain’t the same as following through

We were soft, we were close

We were almost there

But almost love still leaves you lonely

When there’s no promise there

We were almost love, almost right

Almost forever in the middle of the night

You pulled me close, then faded out of sight

Almost held me like I was yours

We were almost love, almost true

Almost everything I wanted from you

I felt the spark, I felt the us

But almost love was never enough

We were almost love…

close enough to touch…

But almost love

was never enough
