“Perhaps one of the most underrated feelings is that of an almost relationship. People despair over divorce, over falling out of love, over losing a partner- and they should, those are moments in a life that can define us. But so does the act of losing someone you could have loved. Who you maybe even did love. Someone who may or may not have loved you back once, but now no longer can. Knowing with your entire being that you could have had something great, if only- Well. If only.”
“Goodbye, my almost lover.
Goodbye, my hopeless dream.
I’m trying not to think about you.
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance.
My back is turned on you.
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache, Almost lovers always do.”
