  1. it was almost true that he loved her and she belived him. but when the truth came out she was devasted. she was just a nobody for him. she was there to faciliate him and there was no other use of her. she felt like a commodity. she hated him now.

  2. i almost had it, i almost had a chance. but what exactly does the word almost mean? is it a chance that is lost? is it something that you had, but didn’t exactly have at the exact same time? I almost had opportunities to travel, I almost had the ability to really love, but when almost happens, it seems like it is denied at the same time.

  3. maybe, you are so close but you fall short. its not positive, but not completely lost. its a tried effort. perhaps next time, sometime in the future. not meant to be

  4. I couldn’t hold on anymore, and I don’t think you’ll blame me. we’re a whole host of almosts, aren’t we. almost good and almost together and almost friends, but now I’m tasting smoke underneath my tongue and nobody else’s. I forget how to breathe when I wake up in the morning.

  5. I almost had it. But then it was taken away. Stolen from me in the middle of the night, beneath the clearest of skies, thousands of miles away. Almost free, almost perfect – and almost a giant disaster. Almost something so perfectly destructive, that it would’ve ruined everything. I almost gave up everything.

  6. Almost grown. What have I got to show for it? Nothing. 19, college drop-out but happy.

  7. almost ready, almost done so many things almost said but never actually

    almost is a terrible word, horrible, because it speaks of so many things you’ve /almost/ but /never/. almost is just as bad as never, as can’t. almost means nearly, almost there, but not quite.

  8. “we almost got caught this time.”
    “almost being the operative word.”
    “but next time…you’ll be in so much trouble if we get caught.”
    “i’ll worry about that. now tell me about your date.”
    and he did.
    and she smiled through the whole thing.
    she thought ‘that was almost me.’

  9. about to. gonna happen. anticipation. all the most. waiting for. so close, close to be. almost there. getting closer. succeeding. graduating.

  10. Nothing is happening
    Because no one will help
    And everyone is listening
    To no one but themselves
    ‘Cause people are enlightening
    Nothing like myself
    It’s time and humans aren’t ready
    C’est La Vie
    It’s all mine and I’m keeping steady
    Good luck to all
    Sad you won’t hear
    Here’s a good and bad call:
    We’re only almost there

  11. Desperation is a funny thing. It will rip friendships apart and kill families, children, grandparents. It can also be the best motivator ever for human kind. It can make people do amazing things. Such is duality. As long as we keep thinking “almost…”

  12. Almost is probably the most disheartening word one can hear. Especially when trying to achieve some, almost always hangs in the air haunting you. Its like a spirit of failure watching over everything you try to accomplish.

  13. i almost am over my ex. i almost lost it today. almost quit my diet. almost okay. almost is not there yet but its getting there, its close enough that its in reach and thats all i need.

    by Jamie on 03.07.2011
  14. almost. I could be sad or it could be good. We almost lost our tempers. We almost ruined the mood. But we didn’t. It seems sad when you first see it but really I’m glad that it doesn’t have to be.

  15. I almost majored in education. Now I wish I would have. I wish I would have because I could teach at the same school as him and then he’d fall back in love with me and my life would be perfect.

  16. Almost is one of those painful words that remind you of what COULD be.

    “You were almost there.”

    “You almost won.”

    “You almost had it.”

    The emotion that follows after the word ‘almost’ is regret. Sometimes, it’s anger. Sometimes, sadness. Most times, it’s defeat.

    “You almost made it with him.”

    Clearly, people aren’t any different.

  17. I almost took that step forward. The one that would have allowed me to fall for you. To fall forward … tumbling … stumbling … *looks down* hmm .. I don’t much care for skinned knees. It’s you who stopped me you know. Your distance that kept me from falling. Do you feel safer now?

  18. I pulled out my man tackle and said, “It’s go time, baby” and everything was rolling along nicely, until she said, “sorry, I’m saving myself for a black man.”

  19. almost is like near something but not really. you are so close but still so far. it is within your reach yet barely touching. it can be the worst or best feeling in the world. the feeling of being barely there. the feeling of almost

  20. I almost stayed. I almost ruined your life. I almost ended myself. I can almost trust you. I left because I needed to be selfish and you are an asshole. I didn’t go too far because I knew you were lost and I care about you too much. I decided to live because there was a time when things were beautiful. I can see right through the walls you put up and I will be patient for you.

  21. so this one time i was driving to go to a friends wedding, and we were literally about a block away, when we ran out of gas. we were the furthest people that parked that day.

  22. Despite all appearances to the contrary, I almost had something to say about the word ‘almost.’ I don’t think it’s a word most people think about. It’s just there. It’s as if it’s used to bring sentences of hesitation together. I don’t know.

  23. There are almost two cows in the backyard of the ugly man across the road from my home. They almost turn around after eating all the grass that the lawn is made of. They look quite scarry.

  24. It’s almost time to go. I can almost feel it coming. The stress pulsing through my veins. My heart racing in my chest. It’s a feeling I can’t ignore. I hate this time of year; hate it with a passion. It’s not like my life depends on the outcome. Oh yeah, that’s right…it does.

    by Josette on 03.07.2011
  25. Whenever I think of the word ‘almost’ I think about certain steps of my life. Have I made it to where I want to be in my life or am I ALMOST there? That question can be discouraging, but at the same time it can be rewarded. Almost encourages me to keep going, to not stop, and to never give up. No matter how hard the job will be, I will never quit.

  26. i almost but didnt. i almost got up for babysitting but over slept. i almost ate healthy but ate two slices of pizza. i almost look for a job today but got stoned instead and painted a rock. i was going to finish my book and fold my clothes but didnt.

  27. I almost talked to you today. Almost.

  28. not quite wait soon so close

    by liz on 03.07.2011
  29. so close but so far away.
    a hair away from beauty and love
    a moment away from laughter
    5 dollars away from a masterpiece
    one belief away from sanctity.

  30. i almost got a way with it. Running so quickly, breathing harder than I’ve ever had to force myself to breathe. never fully grasping my goal, running from my only chance, my only shot. This may never happen again, but I’ll keep trying

  31. she almost slapped him, i could see it in her eyes. he was trying to egg her on, he was mocking her. it was stupid. he is stupid. i slapped him for her.

  32. “Almost,” she whispered. Her naked fingers tangled in the grass. Her heart was racing and her brow was sweating. He hummed a tune, his eyes tightly shut. The sun cast shadows across the blacktop, the sounds of cars in the distance.

  33. i almost did it, almost. i put down the gun and started weeping. i couldn’t believe i had nearly committed suicide.

  34. It’s almost time. Time for me to go. I can’t help but want to leave now. But it’s not now — it’s almost. The time before the now, but after the wait. An in between place, a purgatory and it’s killing me. Time runs slower in the “almost” place. Instead of doing something productive I sit because it’s “almost” time — but not quite.

  35. I almost had you, then you got away. You almost had her, until she decided that she could do better. Now you’re running back to me like I’m just supposed to take you back. Keep on running, cause I’ve moved on. Keep your golden hair and that smile that sparkles.

    by Nikki on 03.07.2011
  36. so close but so far away.
    can touch it
    almost touch it
    a breath away from satisfaction.
    a needles width from safety
    a hand closer than before
    a love just within reach
    but just without you

    by victoria rivera on 03.07.2011
  37. I almost had everything where the fortunes of the world would make it seem like it was eno0ugh. But these fortunes were actually in the form of a person. Someone I loved more than anything and now he’s not here. I loved him more than anything and I never told him enough. I almost had someone that could be with me forever. I wish I can turn back time because I almost had my happiness.

  38. She could almost reach the apple in the higher branches of the tree. She had picked it out from among the rest because it looks so tantalizingly juicy and red compared to the others, she found she could not resist the temptation of climbing up to get it. Her hand stretched out with desire and her fingertips caressed the cool, waxy surface of delight.

  39. I almost achieve but get stopped in my tracks because everything just seems too heavy to accomplish. I almost get the girl but fall short because of something. Almost is never enough. It gets you nowhere. It does nothing. Almost is for the failures.

    by Anthony on 03.07.2011
  40. i almost did what i was supposed to do – i almost finished that entire project – i almost finished it on time – i almost loved him – he almost didnt break my heart.
