Almost

I almost felt

The warmth of your fingertips

The chilling touch

Of your chapped lips

I almost felt

Shivers down my thighs

The wondering look

In your curious eyes

I almost felt

My cheeks turn red

When I saw you sleeping

In my lonely bed

I almost felt

Loved and adored

Until I woke up

And touched the broken floorboard

I almost felt

Like our love grew strong

Until I realised

I was alone all along
