Notes About The Poem

Almost Told You, Almost Stayed I almost said I loved you deep, But kept it quiet for you to keep. I almost stayed, I almost tried- But almost' lives where heartache hides. You almost reached. then pulled away, You almost asked me not to stray. And in that space, we came undone- In all the things we left unsung. Almost is a haunting sound, A word where lost regrets are found. We never broke, we just delayed I almost told you. I almost stayed. People haunted by almost love

Rhymes of Yesterday

The rhymes of yesterday
Are the rhymes that resonate today
Love doesn't have to be perfect
For love to be worth it
I had made my way to Maggie Valley
And almost turned around
