Almost

I almost told Mr Brooks that I should've failed his class in 8th grade because he gave me credit for something I didn't do

I almost sang the song I wrote for the baseball shortstop before he told me he was in love with Whitney Rovig

I almost didn't quit soccer because I though my family would think I'm a wuss

I almost told Brian Erickson that I've liked him since the 8th grade AND that I still do

I almost purposefully drove my car off the road at least 7 times my senior year

I almost visit your grave everyday

I almost kissed my best friends boyfriend when he leaned in and I was mad at her

I almost actually read some of the books I was assigned in all of my English classes

I almost told Ms G that she is overly prideful and completely childish

I almost resigned from my sisterhood and told them that they were never a real family

I almost wrote you a letter telling you that I couldn't forget you; that it hurt that you'd forgotten me

I almost wrote a blog post yesterday

I almost wrote you a song

I almost fell for you while I was awake

I almost let the confusion plant itself inside of me

I almost want to trust someone with everything that's wrong

I almost want to give up

I almost called you back to tell you I'm sorry

I almost opened your letter from last year saying that you were sorry

And I almost wish I hadn't let go

Almost.
