Almost

The spoken "I do"s on a crisp Winters Morn
Were almost enough to know why I was born

The touch of your hand, a word of affection
Was almost enough to give me direction

You told me you love me, I know that you do
And it hurts me to say, I almost love you

You gave me your all, you kept me on track
To my shame I'm aware....I almost gave back

Memories fade, I once knew you so well
I almost believe that I know where we fell

Our times almost up, its almost undone
I almost believe that my lifes just begun

Youre deep in my heart, you always will be
Its almost forever, but its over for me

These six little letters they rule my existence
The meaning within almost broke my resistance

Life will go on, and no-one will know
How much it has hurt me to watch you both go

I'll almost be happy with all that I own
But the scars in my heart let me know.....

....I'm alone

About this poem:
I wrote this a month after my divorce. My wife had just moved back to England with my daughter and I think this pretty much sums up how I felt.

A sad poem, well written I hope you save this one for your girl as she will ask questions when she is older and she will see the love in your poem.

Thanks. I do have it saved. She is 10 now, she was 4 when it was written. Maybe in the years to come...
