Love Poem: Almost Love

Almost Love

I dreamed of us, away somewhere warm.
I placed my hand in yours,  entrusted with my soul.
Being a eager girl to go somewhere fast.
Only to fall head first.
Now I wake up lonely by your side.
Feeling lost in a happy nest.
What I would give to feel  that first night you kissed me with a burning desire.
Now we sit across each other as strangers.
I wonder do you think about me.
Do you glance at me when I’m not looking.
Is this love?
I search for something only to have nothing when I’m with you.
I need to believe there is more than this.
I deserve more than an almost lover.
I hear the clock tick as I pack my bags and pat the dogs bye.
Goodbye my strange-love.
But I’m older now.
We did this when we were young.
