where we dwell

it's morning again and i can almost feel you on my skin
almost
the sun is poking at me and i remember how we squinted that day almost seeing every last bit of each other's soul
almost
alone these words hoping they'll touch you deep someday, make you wonder why you never stayed
almost
this head will rest alongside this morning, away from your body and your beautiful groaning
almost
see, i close my eyes and pray for your sweat to be on mine
i kissed your thoughts, you see, made love to your spine
cause that's your back bone, you know, and i helped support those vertebrae
but you don't remember that part, see, not until it is too late
but almost
you almost did
we were almost a we
no need for the apology
you just keep taking me in dose by dose
but i know we'll always just be an almost
don't take me too seriously
i'm just verbose
a joke
your hope
i'll take my coat now
this verdict i'll allow
i wasn't perfect enough
i was only that almost stuff
it's alright, i'm tough
i know my place
we were just a moment in this 'almost' space

it's morning again and i can almost feel you on my skin
almost
the sun is poking at me and i remember how we squinted that day almost seeing every last bit of each other's soul
almost
alone these words hoping they'll touch you deep someday, make you wonder why you never stayed
almost
this head will rest alongside this morning, away from your body and your beautiful groaning
almost
so close
