You were an almost.
The girl who was almost worth dating.
The girl who almost made him want to settle down.

He almost introduced you to his parents.
He almost took you out on an official date.
He almost treated you the way that you deserved to be treated.
He almost texted you enough.
He almost touched you enough.

He almost liked you enough.
But all of thosealmostsnever added up to anything real.
They never led to an official relationship.
To the future that you imagined having with him.
What hurt the most was realizing that you were on two separate pages all along.
That you misread every single thing he said and did when he was around you.
You used to think that all of the flirting and playful shoves and cheek kisses actually meant something.
You used to think that he liked you as much as you liked him.
But apparently, your version of things wasnt the reality.
He didnt see your situation in the same way that you saw it.
He never intended on becoming your boyfriend.
It was never part of his plan.
To him, you were an almost.
The girl who was almost worth dating.
The girl who almost made him want to settle down.
The girl who was almost good enough.
But to you, he was never an almost.
The guy you would always think about in the morning.
The guy you would always text when you were in the mood to flirt.
The guy you would always gush about to your friends.
You saw him as a permanent part of your life.
But he saw you as a temporary way to pass the time.You saw him as a boyfriend.
But he saw you as a stranger.
You should never feel stupid for misunderstanding the signals that he sent you.
You should never feel stupid for giving him so much of your time.
You still have happy memories with him.
And those memories belong to thebothof you.
Hes never going to forget you.
Hes going to remember the way you made him laugh, the way you made him feel.
You might not have meant as much to him as you wish you did but you still meantsomethingto him.
He didnt have to date you to leave a lasting mark on your heart.
And, whether he realizes it or not, you left a mark on him as well.
