Almost Yours

I don’t know when it started,
or why your voice stays when you’re gone.
Why I replay the smallest moments,
like there was something going on.
A look I almost didn’t notice,
a pause that lasted just too long.
I tell myself it means nothing,
so why does nothing feel so strong?

Half a smile.
Half a sign.
Something shifting
under mine.
One more look,
one more sign,
one more second
and I cross the line.

Closer now,
closer than before.
I don’t know what I’m feeling yet…
but I’m almost yours.

Now I know when you are watching,
even before I turn around.
I feel the space between us changing
without either making a sound.
And every accidental touch
doesn’t feel accidental anymore.
I used to wonder what was happening.
Now I wonder what I’m waiting for.

One more breath.
One more clue.
Every silence
leans to you.
One more look,
one more sign,
one more second
and I’m losing sight of the line.

Closer now,
closer than before.
I know what I’m feeling now…
I’m almost yours.

Maybe I knew
before I knew.
Maybe my body
got there before I did.
Maybe every little reason
I invented not to want this
was only me
trying not to admit…
I want this.

One more look, one more clue,
one more silence pulling me to you
No more wondering
what I came here for.
I’m still mine…
but almost yours.

Almost yours.
Almost yours tonight.
I’m still mine…
but almost yours.
One more look.
One more sign.
Almost yours.
Almost mine.
