Almost is Never Enough

by luna-301190

Short drabble based on Ariana Grande and Nathan Syke's "Almost is Never Enough" Have you ever thought, if they longed for the chance to be with you always? While watching you show your affections for another? (Though, I wrote it with Zen in mind, this is from the POV of any of the characters.)

"Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie"

I heard the song softly playing in the background, just soft enough not to be heard by anyone else but you.

"And we can deny it, as much as we want. But in time our feelings will show."

And deny it you did. Every time I try to gain your heart once again - flirty messages, bold invitations, and declarations from my lovestruck heart, I see you reply so flirtatiously with someone instead. And my heart aches again.

"Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up. The truth is, everyone knows"

I know this wasn't meant to last. I was only supposed to be just another path you'd take. Even knowing so, I can't help but feel like I should have been your only path.

"Almost, almost is never enough. So close to being in love. If I would have known that you wanted me, the way I wanted you. Then, maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart. But right here in each other's arms"

So close- yet so far. All I can hope, is for you to see me, the way that I see you. That you'd choose me to be your forever after. Your Good Ending. Always.

"And we almost, we almost knew what love was. But almost is never enough."

Because almost is never enough. But I will wait for you, just as I have been waiting all this time. For you to choose me, over them.
