Callie Watrous Poet Free verse

Almost - E

We could've been perfect - 
Almost forever.

You promised me forever…
Then ripped it away from me.

So many almosts.
You were almost my person.

I wanted it to be you.
I wanted it to be you so badly.

Almost…
So close…

Then you closed the book on our story.
You left.
Turned around..
And walked away.

Leaving empty pages -
Waiting to be filled.

It was almost me + you.
We almost made it to 
“‘Til death do us part”.

But it wasn't.

I wanted it to be you,
Even as you slipped away - 
Out of my grasp.

I almost held on to you…
Until you let go.

Now I’m back at square one,
Asking the question:

Am I always gonna be 
Somebody’s almost -
