Borrowed Light

I kept your coat by the door. Like you might come back for more. Two plates set out on the table. One went cold, one stayed able. I heard your name in the hall. I reached but nothing at all. Just my hands in the dark, and the shape Of your mark. You were almost mine. Almost all the time. Almost mine. But almost leaves a line. You were almost mine, almost mine. Now I'm learning how to let it sound. Your last note, folded in blue. Still smells a little like you. I wore my hope like a ribbon. Then watched it come untied given. I heard your name in the hall. I reached but nothing at all. Just my hands in the dark, and the shape Of your mark. You were almost mine. Almost all the time. Almost mine. But almost leaves a line. You were almost mine, almost mine. Now I'm learning how to let it sound. I don't blame the rain. I don't curse the train. I just miss the part Where you stayed in my heart. You were almost mine. Almost all the time. Almost mine. But almost leaves a line. You were almost mine, almost mine. Now I'm learning how to let it sound.
