Almost Sorry

Your words shot left and right,
and whizzed to and fro,
and I almost caught the regret
when you almost said "I'm sorry".
But it was almost,
which counts most in atom bombs
and horseshoes
and it would have meant more
if I had been "almost"
in love with you,
instead of in so deep
I could never tell
where you started and I began.
Almost is not quite.
Almost is the big "but".
And almost is not there yet,
just wondering
if we will ever be
more than "almost",
and you will be almost forgiven
for giving up on me.
