i remember when i almost loved you
(i almost didn’t say almost)
back when i wanted to love you
almost
what is it that holds us back
why do i cower in shadows
when you shine like the sun
torn between hesitation and temptation
wanting to spill my guts on every occasion
like its my occupation navigating
dating
you’re still my fixation
but the sensation doesn’t surpass sedation
six months feels like an expiration
still caught up on our mistranslation
i haven’t been on this side of the situation
maybe when you write
this story one day
i’ll be the villain
but that’s okay
even though you don’t say
so – i know
eventually the feelings fade away
maybe that’s why i can’t stay
but i can leave and let you grow
almost a year later i’m no better off
sit around and reminisce about what i’ve lost
you blocked me long ago so i can’t even stalk
but i trust you still shine
hope you found someone more worthy of calling you “mine”
i’m grateful for the time
our stars were aligned
but in this timeline
you just weren’t meant to be my valentine
i’ve been seeing the signs
so far yet so close
you deserve better than almost
