to the love I almost loved

For the heart I almost gave mine

that I almost fell

a tender, youthful sweet

like a soft tickle in one's ear

whispering like a thin cold wind

in the middle of a summer day

I fell during my slumber

in the weakness of my sight

when I thought I've lost and found a shade of refuge

I almost fell in love

I almost loved, when I thought I had

I nearly fell in love, but I didn't

To the man I almost loved

if only words are less louder

that I might have listened to my heart

my heart, that's filled with joy as you smile

as you laugh, as you play, as you make me cry

To the man I almost, completely loved,

if only I had the courage to,

if we could reverse the odds

and I wouldn't feel so much fear

then without fear I would fall and then again I would,

completely love,

the love I almost loved
