Even if you never ended up getting the official label that you were waiting for.
Your relationship had so many elements of a real relationship.
They made you laugh.

They comforted you when you cried.
They were a real friend.
Except during the times when they ditched you, leaving you to cry in your bed alone.
Walking away from an almost is heartbreaking because you never had the chance to test your compatibility.
You only got a taste of what it was like to date them and they left you wanting more.
But you never received more.
You were always stuck waiting, hoping, wondering.
Walking away from an almost is heartbreaking because you never know whether youre making the right choice.
No, you dont want to waste any more of your precious time on them.
After all, thats why you hung around for so long in the first place.
But now that youre the one to end things, youre closing the door on that possibility.
Youre deciding its never going to happen.
Walking away from an almost is heartbreaking because you are giving up more than a friend.
Youre giving up a possibility.
Walking away from an almost is heartbreaking because you gave them so much of yourself.
They might not have returned the favor, but you really tried with them.
You put in the effort.
You did the hard work and it didnt end up paying off.
It didnt get you what you wanted in the end.
Even though you bared your soul to them, it didnt make a difference.
Walking away from an almost is heartbreaking because you cared deeply about this person.
It doesnt matter whether or not you were an official couple because you still got to know them.
You still grew attached to them.
You still imagined a future with them.
They still made a huge impact on your world.
Its never easy to say goodbye to someone that youve loved, and an almost is no exception.
