Dear Almosts,
You came in many names.232Please respect copyright.PENANAuA0Vbcga9s
Some I whispered with hope,232Please respect copyright.PENANAhEiJ2da3i3
some I cursed with regret,232Please respect copyright.PENANAaUrQXTt2No
others I never dared say aloud.
You were never quite mine—232Please respect copyright.PENANASv03lhwLfK
but you made me feel like I could be loved.232Please respect copyright.PENANAw3R70qGTcF
Almost.
You made promises with eyes,232Please respect copyright.PENANACVZ9RsbVYj
not words.232Please respect copyright.PENANAFCbg3Qa7WN
Held my hand in passing,232Please respect copyright.PENANAvtnlBilG4x
but never stayed long enough to hold my heart.
And still, I thank you.
You showed me where I still longed to be seen.232Please respect copyright.PENANAAyF82JPP7m
Where I still begged for validation.232Please respect copyright.PENANAGJv2zA68Cp
You were the mirrors I hated looking into232Please respect copyright.PENANAbKTAyAXIcs
but needed to face.
In your absence, I found something more precious than closure:232Please respect copyright.PENANAVATNehZezJ
clarity.
I realized the love I kept searching for232Please respect copyright.PENANAFnmcxNzerR
was the love I owed myself.
So this is not a bitter goodbye.232Please respect copyright.PENANAOO6ee9gZIR
It's a soft ending.232Please respect copyright.PENANA5AtECuU0QL
A thank-you for the almosts that broke me open,232Please respect copyright.PENANATVlopARuvU
so I could finally begin again—on my own terms.
Goodbye, and thank you.232Please respect copyright.PENANAgbwAHmzCtx
