Almost

Can you tell me how can one miss
what she's never had
How could I reminisce
when there is no past
How could I have memories
of being happy with you boy
Could someone tell me
how can this be
How could my mind
pull up incidents
Recall dates and times
that never happened
How could we celebrate
a love that's to late
And
how could I really mean
the words I'm bout to say
I missed the times
that we almost shared
I miss the love
that was almost there
I miss the times
that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time
and reminisce
I miss the times
that we never had
What happened to us
we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible
to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
I cannot believe I let you go
Or what I should say
I shoulda grabbed you up
and never let you go
I shoulda went out with you
I shoulda made you
my boo boy
Yes that's one time I shoulda
broke the rules
I shoulda went on a date
Shoulda found a way to escape
Shoulda turned a almost into
If it happend now its too late
How could I celebrate
a love that wasn't real
And if it didn't happen
why does my heart feel
I missed the times
that we almost shared
I miss the love
that was almost there
I miss the times
that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time
and reminisce
I miss the times
that we never had
What happened to us
we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible
to miss
when you never had
Never almost had you
baby..
