Nothing lasts
We lived in asymptote
Not enough
We stopped in maybes
Maybe it's the saddest realization that I've ever had
To know that we can't meet halfway
To see us stuck in the middle
For us to not complete the story
and not meet 'the end'
We did our best
Poured what we had
Took care of the rest
But life's too cruel of a test
We tried to build a home
Using parts of our lives
Windows of our souls touched
Colors were seen through the eyes
It was almost enough
The love, the journey, the care
We almost won in life
Well...that is...
Almost
And we thought we could rewrite the stars
I was almost enough for you to have
We almost happened
But we never made it
We were left defeated in the game
Died in the middle of the war
Passed out before the finish line
Failed in the middle of trying
I guess we are just not meant to be
Happily ever after being washed away by the sea
It was too late before I realized that
'Almost' was never enough
Too painful to accept but here we are
That 'Almost' made me to only look at you from afar
While you chase your unsaid dreams
Beside the woman that I was not
And before my rhymes' end
I will write our names
In an old scratch paper
Memories then can't be bent
Write about our beautiful past
A story where there was once you and me
I'd call it a tale that's ours
It's an "Almost Love Story"
