I almost love you

seems like I can't quite get it right
nothing is really perfect
how can you analyze a feeling
quantify an emotion
you are such a good fit for me
and I for you
when I hold you
I feel great
the look I see in your eyes doesn't lie
a feeling otherwise unable to attain
so how can I tell you how I feel
I want you to know
but I must be honest
suddenly I realize
that I almost love you
I need maybe more time
more conversation
more hugs
more looking into your eyes
less fear
less of the past
less pain
sure I feel strong
sure I want to go on
so I almost love you
is that enough
till I know for sure
this will have to do
just remember
I still love your smile
what we have is good
I want to try to make it last
