I almost texted you back,
and then I did.
I almost listened to what others told me,
and then I did.
I almost kept picking up the phone
and then I did.
I almost let the calls get longer,
and then I did.
I almost let it go to far,
and then I did.
I almost let everything eat me alive.
I almost let the guilt consume me,
I almost had the thought of lines on my body
I almost had the burning desire of failure to just prove my lies
and then it all happened.
I let the lie spill out,
a ghost of what I had never truly felt,
trying to secure the demons in your mind while
I left quicker than life could take away the gasping and drowning
memories of innocent childhood.
I almost let the lie out.
Then I said "I still love you".

This is from a mistake in my own life that I hope I will never make again to anyone. Cherish each moment like it will never come again.
