Almost
Just when I
Had almost forgotten you
Just when I was beginning
To feel whole again
Just when the world
Was starting anew
I had almost forgotten your sweet kiss
Your sunlight smile
Your warm embrace
Almost...
I was so close
To forgetting all those tears
I was almost fine
I was almost free
I was almost myself
And that's the thing
I was almost me
I couldn't quite reach
What I was before you
Before you changed my life
Twice over
Once you show'd me love
Then you show'd me pain
Once upon a time
You touched my heart
And made my world your own
Once upon a time
You broke my heart
And left my world
And now I'm more alone than ever
So, I had almost forgotten
What I so needed to forget
You were almost a memory
As you should be
And I was walking down the street
With a friend of mine
When she asked me about you...
And she asked me if I still loved you
And my heart betrayed me, once again
As it always seems to do
When you are mentioned
Because my reply was a soft, simple...
"Yes."
