i was almost over you
i could almost hear your name
without seeing your flesh covering mine
without forcing a smile
so our shared secret would not be revealed

i was almost over you
i could almost bear your voice
without reminiscing how you said my name
without purring return thoughts of the same
my words never lingered in lies

I was almost over you
I could almost listen to you speak
without feeling you lips on my breasts
without holding onto my staggard breath
feeling as if your words were worth more than mine

I was almost over you
I could almost take what you said for granted
without questioning your corruptive intent
without looking for the minipulative ways
you twist and turn my emotions to benefit you

i was almost over you
i could almost watch you walk away
without picturing the scar on your chest
without remembering the pain in your heart
and all you tried to let me understand

I was almost over you
I could almost fall in love again
without wondering if he will break my heart
without leaving the house in case you called
i can't miss spending your time with me

i was almost over you
i could almost be your friend
without reminding myself you never loved me
without hesistation in my thoughts and actions
then you asked for more than you deserved, again

i was almost over you
until someone whispered to me your name
and four years turned to yesterday
and i turned into you slowly on the dance floor

i was almost over you
i stopped going out all together rather than
risk running into you until tonight
remind me that i am a woman

i was almost over you
until you asked me if i was okay
as you pulled your hand away
brushing my hair away from my eyes

i was almost over you
until you walked me to my car
and reminded me you loved the tattoo
that sits right above my heart shaped ***

i was almost over you
until you traced your name on my lips
while we reminisced about the times
we made love all night

I was almost over you
when your lips touched my neck
right where you know i will quiver
if for just a second longer you linger

i was almost over you
until you put your hand on my spine
and questioned thoughts in minf
while pulling me in close

I was almost over you
when i remembered why it was
for four years i have been pulling away
remembering that you'll never stay

I was almost over you
until i recalled how you left me
when i needed you the most
and since then nothings been the same.
