ALMOST LOVER
by
ALISON MONRO


Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images


You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick


I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do


We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images


And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never let forget these images, no


I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do


I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do




I swear today, I'm not going to go back there anymore.
Its the little things in life that matter.
And I believe this will be my blessing in disguise.



Thanks to my dearest family for supporting me every hour and second of the day
Thanks to all my friends (its a never ending list) for sunday outings, for advice, for teaching me new things to do, for a shoulder to lie on, for good company and so much more.
Thanks to God, for answering my prayers and for good health.
Thank you so much.



Without all of you,
I wouldn't have known what to do.
I've learnt to be brave, to be strong, to be confident.
And I'm happy to have you all in my life.



I love you all.
