The Almost That We Were

Poem Artwork

I just have to say

That no matter what else happens

I love the almost

That we were

The dreams that were right out of reach

The happiness at our fingertips

Yet so far away

The sense of pleasure that brushed us

In the night

And fled with the first mornings light

I love the almost

That was us

Out

There on the edge

Of what really is
