Almost
Words have the ability to create a picture so strong it almost feels real.
You can read words and almost feel the loving caress of a lover, or hear the plaintive cry of a cat.
You can tell yourself. This is real. This is real. And, it is..almost.
When the face of reality rears its ugly head, you cry in despair and frustration because you almost forgot about it.
Almost.
Devastatingly disappointed because you dared hope once again.
You live for the seconds and minutes where love is almost real and the pain is almost gone.
You then square your shoulders to resettle the burden of pain, put on your brightest smile to hide it from the world, and go about the rest of your life as if there was nothing wrong. You almost convince yourself it's true.
