Almost Poem by Jitebe Prince Mumba

As the cold wind of summer touches my face

Thoughts of you lingers on my head

When the times I kept myself inside a cage

I held myself back, and it's you I almost had

I almost have you every time I'm feeling down

You're almost here when I need you around

I hear your voice every time I hear a sound

Now an almost broken ME is what I found

From the day you tap my shoulders

Every star glows brighter

And in those glows I want to stay forever

Even if that means that I'll always be a dreamer

It happened so fast

I hope these good things last

You easily accepts me as your friend

I wish you'll stay that way ‘til the end

Again, I'm not asking for more

All I want is to keep you ‘til forevermore‘Coz you're the only one that I adore

With you my soul seems to soar

You're like a star on a midnight sky

And like a wind that I cannot tie

Like a water that I cannot hold

In short, you're like a dream that I cannot mould

I know I have you

But like the earth, I cannot own you

Coz God made you similar to what I have to

So its in my dreams is where I could only keep you

Though I can't always have what I wanted

With what you are giving, I am contented

Just constantly remember

That I'll always be by your side forever

From the moment that I loved you

I know chances are fewer than few

Consequences I must know

And my feelings must not show

But this secret is just so hard to hide

My heart is shouting from the inside

Once and for all, somehow I gotta let you know

That my insane heart just can't let you go

Accept me or reject me

At least, at the very least I've made you see

Somebody's here who's better than he could be

Yet not given a chance to breathe free

Years from now whenever I will pause

While walking along the coast

I'll laugh and remember when I got hurt the most



By somebody that I had…almost! ! !
