Almost Forever and Always
It's almost summer
And I almost wish I missed you
You were the boy who almost gave you a summer romance
And I was the girl who almost gave you everything
But instead we gave up.
I don't know if I ever loved you at all
But I think I almost did.
I told you I'd wait forever
If forever is what it takes
Because you're my forever
And forever waits
But when forever
Only lasts a few days
Forever isn't the promise
My 'forever' made.
Everyone has good and bad days
But mine feel more like good hours and bad years
And I can almost count on
Forever and always being alone and
I'm starting to believe "almost" is the saddest word in the English language
Because we almost had something great.
