"The saddest word
in the whole wide world
is the word: 'Almost'.
He was 'almost' in love.
She was 'almost' good for him.
He 'almost' stopped her.
She 'almost' waited.
They 'almost' made it."
"I'm sorry I couldn't make forever happen." he apologized, smiling sadly at me and closing his eyes briefly.
"Forever is not real." I quoted, remembering what he told me before.
"I almost believed."
"Me too."
