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 too late?
And how could I really mean the words I'm 'bout to say?

I miss 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 the 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 bop-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 happened now, it's too late
How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real?
And, if it didn't happen, why does my heart feel

I miss 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 the 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

(Sometimes, I wanna rub ya, some nights, I wanna hug ya)
And you seem to be the perfect one for me
You (some nights I wanna touch ya, but tonight, I wanna love ya)
You're all that I ever wanted
And you're my everything, yes, it's true
Boy, it's hard to be close to you
My love, I know it may sound crazy
But I'm in love with you

I miss 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 the 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 miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there (sometimes, I wanna rub ya)
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least, in my dreams
Just let me take the time, and reminisce (but tonight, I wanna love ya)
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, never almost-had you
(But tonight, I wanna love ya)
