Faded in and out of love

Almost forever, that's what you were to me

A future I could see

but never got to keep

You were there on the nights my mind got dark

Holding me together when I came undone apart

You knew every side of me nobody else knew

And somehow through the chaos,

you still stayed true

I remember crying with my head on your chest You'd tell me,

'We'll get through this,

just get some rest' But pain has a way of changing people

under pressure

And I still replay the little things The way your hand fit

perfectly in mine Some people leave a mark that time can't erase

You were my almost forever

The one I thought I'd end up with forever

We got so close to the life that we planned

But somewhere along the way it slipped through our hands I wanted

the house, the late nights,

your last name too Wanted every little piece of forever with you

But my mental health kept pulling me under

And I hate that loving me became too much to suffer Now

it's almost a year and I still break sometimes Still hear your

name and get lost in my mind Because no matter who

comes after

You'll always be my almost forever Maybe love alone just wasn't enough

Maybe two hurting people can't heal through love But God knows we

tried with everything we had Till loving each other started making us

sad And sometimes I still reach for my phone at night

Like part of me forgets you're not mine

Almost forever, that's what we were

A love so real
