The lamp's glow
Across his face
Brought out
The dimples
I hadn't noticed.
He whispered that
I was beautiful.
In those moments,
I almost believed him.
I almost believed the way
He kissed my shoulders.
Almost fell for his
Disheveled curly hair.
Almost wished I could
Watch him
Rub his eyes
And brew his coffee
Each morning.
Almost.
What a pathetic word.
It insinuates that we were
Close...
But not quite there.
Just didn't reach
The mark.
I said that
He was attractive,
And that his shirt
Didn't need to stay on.
He almost believed me.
Almost.
