Almost Love
You learn a little closer, I forgot to breathe,
Your fingers brush mine, then quickly leave.
We laugh like friends, pretending we're fine.
While your eyes keep secretly searching for mine.
You whisper my name beneath thevmoonlighti feel your warmth, butccall it alright
We find excuses to stay a little late.
Walking slowly pretending we're tempting fate.
You fix my hair, I tease your sleeve.
Neither of us knows what we believe.
You hold my gaze a second too long
Then laugh it away like nothing is wrong
If this isn't love whyvdowsnmy heart race?
Why does your touch leave warmth in its place?
Why do I miss you before you go?
Maybe we're lovers waiting to know.

This is exactly what 'Almost Love' feels like. You're telling yourself it's not love, it's just a crush, it's just habit, it's nothing. But then why does your heart race when you see their name on the screen? Why does one message ruin or make your whole day? Maybe the heart understands what the mind is still too scared to accept.
This has such a soft, almost-love feeling to it. The little moments—lingering eye contact, finding excuses to stay longer, pretending nothing is happening—make the emotions feel natural and understated. The final line ties the whole poem together beautifully. 🤍
