Love Poem: Almost Forever and Always

Almost Forever and Always

It's almost summer 
And I almost wish I missed you 
You were the boy who almost gave you a summer romance 
And I was the girl who almost gave you everything 
But instead we gave up. 
I don't know if I ever loved you at all 
But I think I almost did. 
I told you I'd wait forever 
If forever is what it takes 
Because you're my forever 
And forever waits 
But when forever 
Only lasts a few days 
Forever isn't the promise 
My 'forever' made. 
Everyone has good and bad days 
But mine feel more like good hours and bad years 
And I can almost count on 
Forever and always being alone and 
I'm starting to believe "almost" is the saddest word in the English language 
Because we almost had something great.
