Almost is the happiest word I know
She almost left him
He almost lost
They almost crashed
The fire almost burned it
Twisting things around when all hope is lost
Taking certain doom and making it almost
At the end of a book
When the main character is is bleeding out on the ground
They almost didn't make it
Almost makes us leap for joy and cry tears as we smile the biggest ******* smile we could
But
It can **** it just as fast
He almost beat cancer
The dog almost made it
The car almost swerved in time
Almost, almost, almost
Then the tears aren't so happy
Then the books let the villain win
Then our hearts break and we are left there gasping for breath because even our lungs don't know how to react
Because almost can override muscle memory
Almost is a heartbreakingly beautiful word
And almost
Is the saddest word I know
