  1. I still have his shirt.

    I grabbed him by the collar as he tried to sprint away but somehow he squirmed his way out of it like a contortionist and dashed off, bare-chested, leaving the patched flannel shirt behind.

    He still has my wallet.

  2. Almost means a lot of things. I almost made it. Almost doesn’t count. Almost there. It’s an excuse for what we could have done but didn’t. Almost doesn’t really mean anything – nothing comes from almost.

  3. I almost said it; he asked how I felt about him and I nearly answered without thinking, I almost blurted the words out. Almost. But I stopped myself before it went too far, I stopped myself. I almost burst through all my barriers, went farther than I ever meant to in more ways than one in just one day, but I stopped myself. I almost surpassed my fears, I almost got there, but I didn’t. I come close to doing many things without actually doing them. My introversion shuts me down before I cross the finish line. Sometimes it’s a good thing. This time, I’m not so sure.

  4. the word is almost which makes me think of not quite which means failure which is bad which looks like a really cool word because it’s like a reflection. it also looks like a palindrome but it’s not.

  5. Seeing you walking away I realized what I almost had. The way you treated me, the way you held my hand and caressed my cheek, how could I have not noticed this before it was too late? The words had already escaped and now I wished for nothing more than for them to be dragged back into the dark recesses of my mind.

  6. I almost didn’t make it here today. I almost fell into a very deep hole. I almost got buried alive as the men digging the hole were filling it up with dirt. I almost never got to school today. But that was almost. I actually made it here.

  9. It was almost like it was too easy. Almost. Of course things never went as well as they planned, it was like a law of nature. She followed his lead, as always, and thought about the promotion she was up for. She hoped this would be her chance to prove she deserved it. It almost was. Almost

  10. I almost made it. Almost to the top, almost home, almost done, almost there. But I didn’t. And that’s when I realized almost would never ever be enough.

  11. almost. everything but completion; actualization. the sliver of not that removes you from the whole.

    So many things that I have almost done and almost will do. These are all the things that cannot be. things that are tantalizingly open. things that I can taste upon in my mind, not visit in memory.

  12. I was almost good enough. Almost pretty enough, and almost nice enough to make things last between us. I start to think back and pick apart the moments where I went wrong. The things I almost should have said. The kisses I almost gave. The strength I almost had to end it myself.

  15. gave up, but remembered to think positive and trust God!

  16. Almost is a great motivator. To get through my day, I must think “almost.” I am almost finished with school, I am almost there to making it to the happiest moment of my life, marrying and starting a life with my boyfriend. Almost!

  17. I’M ALMOST THERE, I’M ALMOST TO THE TOP, I CAN ALMOST TASTE IT BUT NOT QUITE, I’M ALMOST GOING CRAZY WITH THE THOUGHT OF ALMOST BEING THERE. OH MY GOD I’M THERE.

  18. i almost love you. i can almost feel your touch.
    you’re so close but everything is melting in around me. i know you’ll never be as available as i need you to be, because you and your fucking adorable toque are cuddled up with that way-too-pretty girl who’s older than you (like i am) & she’s so gorgeous & i can never compete with that. but these thoughts are all too negative; all i want to do is hold you & that is the most positive wish in my world. i want to touch your creamy skin and touch your beautiful hair & that’s all, lover.
    i wish you were my lover. you almost were.

  19. i almost wanted to go swimming today at the pool but didn’t have time to. i need to be more organized because i’m always almost on the brink of a breakdown. i don’t know how to though.

  20. almost is you almost did something you e\were thinking about it. about to do it then didnt thats almost. almost = homework i almost did my homework.

  21. I almost didn’t get inspired enough to write tonight; it still feels like I’m on that almost line. I don’t know why it’s so hard to get motivated to write sometimes, especially at home. Maybe I just get complacent here. It’s frustrating. I just want to sleep and play videogames, but deeper down I want to write.

  23. I almost tell him the truth. I lie so much, about little silly things. Things like movies I’ve seen, and actors ive heard of, parts of movies I don’t even remember but say I do. Will I ever be able to just let go and tell the truth? arghh

  25. almost about to graduate. almost about to encounter the next big step. LA? Florida? Dream Careers? BIg Ad company? I want to not almost inspire people, but engage them in something that they truly desire and want. almost is never cutting it. completely would be more fit.

  26. Almost can make or break you. How far you push yourself in those last ten feet determine if you almost win, or if you almost lost..

  27. Almost all the sky was black when we turned around.That was when I realized we were lost in the forest. We had no food and no light. It was dark and scary. I cried the whole time. When I asked Mark, he said we were fine. He lied.

  29. I almost fucked him today. I wanted to fuck him with my mind. He was so close and I was so far away in spirit, mind body. I hate him for doing this to me. I wanted to be in his arms forever and now he has taken it away from me. i dont understand him.

  30. almost- could be interpreted either negatively or positively. For instance, you could be almost there, or you could have almost made it. One signifies hope, the other, failure.

  31. well, I think I am ‘almost’ in love. It’s crazy how the first thing that comes to mind when i see that word is her. I actually know I am in love. I set alarms for 11:11 just to make wishes that she will share the same feelings… ughh… fml. </3 I love you heather Epler.

  32. the other day i almost committed to a decision that would have been drastic. i was pulled over on the side of the road, thinking about what i was prepared to do. i thought about it for a while, but i eventually got to the point where i was about to start up the car and continue on with my plan.

  33. I was almost there. Almost to my floor. With the elevator broken, I’d been forced to climb up all 24 flights of stairs to my apartment, with books, laptop, and mellophone in hand. The elevator was fixed by the time I got up to the top. Damn.

  34. Almost is the feeling of trying to get somewhere but you’re not quite there yet. It is like reaching but not touching. Attempting something without finishing it. Traveling somewhere without reaching your destination. Moving forward but not ending.

  35. i was almost good enough
    i almost had you
    i almost had a best friend for a lifetime
    i almost woke up in a bad mood today because of the previous things I almost accomplished but failed
    i almost cared more about what you think about me than what i know
    i almost.

  36. sometimes we almost get to where we want to be. but almost isn’t good enough. almost doesn’t make it better. it makes it worse. almost gives you the tease without the fulfillment, the tiny morsel on your tongue without being able to savor the entire dish. almost means reaching and reaching, until you’re just there, and pulling back. you watch it crumble before your eyes and you know it’s gone. you didn’t do it. you didn’t try hard enough. you’ve failed. almost…almost…almost…that words haunts you. it plays like a broken record in your ears and you can’t shut it up. almost becomes that mocking little word, reminding you of all your failures and sorry attempts, of all those times you tried your best, but your best simply wasn’t good enough.

  37. It was very close but missed the goal. It was so close. Everyone’s so disappointed at me now. Even I hate myself. I missed it.

  38. almost there.
    i thought, i’m almost there, just one more day of hanging on and i will be done.

    i wake up. the day has gone.
    i’m not there, but i have already won.

    i’m not the best. i’m the best i can be.
    it’s not “almost”, i’m already there.

    by Jo on 03.07.2011
  39. I was almost there
    Way to close
    Should have known
    Love comes and goes
    Its always been up and down for me

    Never took a single chance
    Scared of tears
    Scared to dance
    But something with you
    Thought I was safe with me

    by Dominique on 03.07.2011
  40. I’m almost here
    I’m almost there
    I’m almost near
    I’m almost fair
    But I’m everywhere
    My soul and my hair!
