I heard that "almost"
Was the saddest word.
At first, I had to think about it
Because I just wasn't sure.
But:
He almost fell for her,
And she almost revealed her feelings
When he almost heard her whisper,
But thought it was meant for another.
She almost didn't do it,
She almost believed what he said.
But she couldn't know for sure,
So she permanently stopped the thoughts in her head.
Her mom almost made it home in time,
And the doctors almost saved her.
He almost went to visit her,
But he felt so unsure.
He almost revealed
That he always had feelings,
He almost wanted to kneel
And give her the promise ring.
They almost made it,
They almost survived.
And that is why "almost"
Is the saddest word alive.
