You were almost everything I needed.
Almost consistent.
Almost reassuring.
Almost sure about me.
And I kept telling myself
“almost is okay”
because I saw the good in you.
Because I knew you were trying.
But almost love
still leaves gaps.
And no matter how much I stretched myself
to reach you,
I was always just outside
of where you were willing to meet me.

i really felt the “almost reassuring” part. honestly what helped me was finally admitting that trying isn’t always enough if you’re still the one carrying the relationship emotionally.
i stayed in an “almost” relationship for years because every tiny bit of effort felt like proof he cared. but deep down i was starving the whole time
You know you deserve better but that's his maximum. I've been in those kind of relationships and it's agonizing 🥲
This hit hard
you ever feel like you kept lowering your needs just to make the relationship feel okay?
