Almost, Sort Of, Maybe

You were almost, sort of, maybe--

The thing I did not truly need.

You were almost wonderful,

Sort of perfect,

Maybe the one for me.

You were almost, sort of, maybe--

But it took me so long to see

That you were almost real,

Sort of a fairy tale,

Maybe a fantasy.

You were almost, sort of, maybe--

But never quite enough.

You were almost my downfall,

Sort of confusing,

Maybe I called your bluff.

You were almost, sort of maybe--

But you thought I was for sure.

I was almost a comfort,

Sort of the answer,

Maybe not the cure.
