We were close but never there
Like a word you almost say
Every moment felt like leaning
But we never fell all the way
Your laugh still lives in corners
Of places I don’t stay
I don’t chase it, I don’t stop
It just passes through my day
We didn’t break, we didn’t burn
We just slowly drifted by
Some stories don’t need endings
Just a place in time
Almost love, almost us
Almost everything
We were more than strangers
But less than anything
I don’t regret the in-between
Or what we couldn’t do
Almost love, almost us
Still feels true
I remember how it felt
Standing close, not touching skin
Like we both knew if we crossed that line
There’d be no way back again
We spoke in half-sentences
Left the rest unclaimed
Some feelings stay unfinished
But they’re real the same
If I see you somewhere now
I wouldn’t look away
I’d just smile at what we were
For a moment, then let it fade
Almost love, almost us
Almost everything
We were more than strangers
But less than anything
I don’t regret the in-between
Or what we couldn’t do
Almost love, almost us
Still feels true
Maybe timing was the reason
Maybe nothing went wrong
Some loves exist
Just not that long
Almost love, almost us
Softly left behind
Not a wound, not a loss
Just a line in time
If I ever think of you
I won’t feel confused
Almost love, almost us
Still feels true
