Almost Yours: Poetry Collection

I spent a lot of time wondering what we were.

Close enough to imagine something more.
Close enough to want you.
Close enough to hurt when you chose someone else.

Almost Yours is a collection of poems written from inside that space—the late nights waiting for a response, the conversations that meant more to me than they probably should have, the jealousy I didn't always know what to do with, and the hope that kept finding reasons to stay.

These poems aren't about having someone. They're about being close to someone and still feeling like you're standing outside the door.

I wanted more.
You wanted something different.
And somewhere between those two things, I kept writing.

Almost Yours is what remained from wanting someone who was never completely mine.
