I see you in the quiet light
A thousand dreams I held too tight
We laughed like we had time
But the world drew a line
You speak and everything slows
But the words I need, no one knows
I wish I could rewind
To the moment you were mine
But we were pages never turned
A lesson I was meant to learn
You were almost mine, almost real
Like a wound I’ll never heal
We were close but not enough
Like a flame that feared the touch
In another life, another time
You’d be more than just a rhyme
But in this one, you’ll remain
My sweetest ache, my quiet rain
You smile, and I pretend
I don’t break again and again
Love isn’t always kind
Sometimes it stays just in your mind
And though I never said it loud
You were the sun behind my cloud
You were almost mine, almost real
Like a wound I’ll never heal
We were close but not enough
Like a flame that feared the touch
In another life, another time
You’d be more than just a rhyme
But in this one, you’ll remain
My sweetest ache, my quiet rain
No regrets, just silent grace
I’ll keep your name in a sacred place
You’ll never know the depth I knew
But that’s okay… I loved you true
You were almost mine, always near
Like a song I still can hear
Not a tragedy, not a lie
Just a love that passed me by
In another sky, another night
We’d be stars that burned so bright
But for now, I’ll be just fine
With knowing… you were almost mine
