Poems about Love

almost yours

I loved you in the quiet spaces 
Between words and glances, 
In the pauses where your eyes 
Met mine for just a little too long. 
 
I loved the way you made me laugh, 
Like I was the only one who could 
Crack open your guarded heart, 
If only for a fleeting second. 
 
There were moments, small and soft, 
When you held me in your gaze, 
And I swore, I could see it— 
A spark, a flicker of something more. 
 
Your hand brushed mine, 
And I felt the world slow down, 
As if you, too, were waiting, 
Holding your breath in the quiet. 
 
But then the truth fell like a storm, 
Unraveling all the dreams I built. 
I found out—so simply, so cruelly— 
That you already had someone else. 
 
And the love I thought I saw in your eyes 
Was never meant for me at all.
