Almost

At first I thought you had it

Everything.

Even beyond that hair and those brown eyes.

Your ten different smiles or the days where

you didn’t have time to comb your hair

They’re beautiful.

But what’s even better

Is the way you feel

You’re expressive and human and real.

I admire your thoughtful words and passion.

Yet there’s one thing holding me from satisfaction

You are the lock and I have the wrong key.

We were song but you are too fast for me.

After all this time I don’t understand you

Or any reason behind the things you do.

You’re dangerous, unpredictable, messy.

But maybe the thrill is just what I need.

Maybe all of this was meant to be.

Awaken in reality, I come to see

I have made nothing but a lost fantasy.

You and me.
