Almost Doesn't Count

It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t consummated.

There are things that are not meant to be consummated, anyway.

It doesn’t matter that it felt like I was left hanging midway.

I’m not sure of I would have wanted to see it all the way, anyway.

It doesn’t matter that I’m left with the could have beens.

What could still be is more important, anyway.

It doesn’t matter if it looks imagined or contrived.

That could be true, anyway.

I guess my point is, after all is said and done,

I’m not gonna make it less than what it actually is.

Because I still believe that contrary to the popular song, Almost Does Count.

At least to me, it does.
