  1. Almost there
    Not just quite
    A little further
    To save a life.
    Almost perfect
    But not quite
    How very, very contrite.
    Almost yours,
    But not quite.

  2. “I think I believe you,” I told him, surprising myself. “Even you… it’s almost as if…” I stopped, my face reddening.

    “As if what?” he prodded gently.

    I looked at him, my eyes taking in every aspect of his features. “It’s as if I know you from somewhere. Every once in a while, I get a fleeting bit of memory. But I’ve never met you. I’d have remembered.”

    “No, you never met me… in THAT lifetime.”

  3. I’m almost over you. I’m almost there, I’ve almost made it. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. But then again, you made it pretty easy by proving to be a jerk and having a facade on the whole time we were together. I’M ALMOST THERE! Celebration!

  4. Almost is the name of a song by Bowling for Soup, who I used to listen to a lot when I was younger. I remember walking around the park by my house singing their songs at the top of my lungs with my friends. we weren’t older than 11 or 12. i miss that innocence sometimes, a lot of the time. i miss me.

  6. I almost had the chance. I could have saved their life if I would have been quicker. Why didn’t I get on the plane to England that night? Why didn’t I give my last goodbye. I was almost there.

  7. I almost missed that flight from Miami to Charlotte. That flight where I found myself sitting next to the ridiculously handsome stranger. The flight where we talked the entire time. When we landed, he was no longer a stranger, but I felt as if I’d known him my entire life. That man is currently driving our daughter to soccer practice. He is my husband, and the love of my life. All because I ran down the terminal all those years ago so I wouldn’t miss my flight.

  8. I almost wanted to find something new when I laughed about nothing in particular. I love the fact that almost is neither here or there. Almost doesn’t really count for anything. It’s kind of useless. I almost want to fall a sleep, but I almost don’t.

  9. almost there, almost nearly, not quite, very close , so close, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, tempting, not there yet,

  10. Is this still what you’re after? Okay, then. I’ll play your little game. And I’ll one-up you every single time. Hope you can handle the damage to your ego, because I’m relentless, and I’m done playing nice. You could have broken me. But I’m much stronger than that.

  11. it something that didn’t quite happen but ALMOST occurred something you aren’t satisfied with, and you want to try to finish, and do the right way.

  12. I wish we could sit
    on the porch
    and look out
    in the yard
    at the tigerlillies
    as the sun set
    and the light
    reflected off of
    your hazel eyes.
    I wish I could forget
    the day that
    this would have
    become reality.
    We were almost.
    We will never be more.

  13. ah. now there’s a word that sums it up.
    almost.
    it nearly breaks my heart just to type it.
    do I need to explain?

  14. Delicately I tiptoed down the hallway, taking care to miss the creaking board and almost making it to the stairs without a sound. A loud click behind a closed door alerted me to the wakening of the other resident, and the possibility of their discovery.

  15. There is no such thing as almost. “Almost made it” means you fell short of the goal. “Almost got the girl” means you were rejected. Accept your faults and move on, instead of covering up with “almost.”

  16. For the most part Al ran all over town searching for the least expensive apartment cash could buy after his condo burned to the ground due the teenagers party next door. Come to find out they found Al’s wallet in the unit that caught fire along with a suitcase with what in it?

    Time was almost up for Al.

    His heart was beating faster and faster and faster. Time’s up.

  17. almost is a sad word. almost there, almost did it, almost got it. it means you didn’t succeed, you failed. It means not quite good enough, try again.

  18. Almost is when you nearly do something or when you are on the brink of something i can’t think of any examples. It looks a bit German.

  19. quite nearly. this exercise is just that — almost. almost a complete thought. almost a total emotion or fleshed-out algorithm. time limits. you get close and sometimes close is good enough.

  20. not yet not yet not yet but maybe sometime it’s within reach but elusive I can see it taste it but not quite touch it or it didn’t happen but it nearly did which was really scary and not I am relieved that it did not

  21. not there but so close
    never touching but reaching constanly
    every day every second
    trying so hard to get there
    but never succeeding in it
    every day is a waste
    every second is a hopeless let down
    you’ll never get what you want
    you’ll never get what you need
    life is an illusion

  22. Youre almost there. Just a little more effort. A little more time. A lot more hope. Just keep trying. Almost, not quite. WOrk push try try. Youre almost 20 almost 30 almost 60 almost dying. Enjoy the now there may be no almost. A

  23. i was almost there when deception hit me
    i was almost to the most perfect point in my life
    until manipulation swarmed over me and clouded my judgement
    since then things have cleared up
    i’ve lost a couple i’ve loved but if they were supporting the negativity
    so be it.

  24. made it to the other side of dysfunctionality today. almost accomplished everything i wanted to. almost didn’t eat those 6 spoonfulls of nutella and ruin my diet. almost.

  25. almost means failure. even scarier than failing is never trying. almost is a word that should be used to inspire, to almost sign up or almost try something is to fail. to almost succeed and fail is a means to improve and therefore succeed.

  26. almost is my middle name. almost is the chance i had at the life i wanted. almost is me talking to the absolutely gorgeous girl across from me at me bar, and her liking me back. almost sucks.

    by Garrett on 03.07.2011
  27. When i hear someone say good job you almost did it that makes me think good job you still kinda suck.

  28. She ran as fast as she could. She thought about wind, and felt it hitting her ears. She imagined herself running faster than it. As she slid onto home base, perfectly – just as her father had shown her, the pitcher caught the ball. The umpire struck her out. She was so, so close. Almost. She looked at her father on the sidelines. He had his head in his hands. She was so, so close. But that wasn’t good enough.

  29. Almost is good but not good enough. Almost winning is the same as winning, it isnt the same as graduating. Almost is a synonym for half assing.

  33. I almost wrote about another word such as pie,socks,keys,apples,pink,red,blue,gray,gold,purple,yellow,sliver,aqua,or that one color……..BubbLeiShEsh. so yes almost means barely,I believe. My head hurts I almost want to scream.So yeah that’s my definition of almost.

  35. Hmm,, almost. is random. Like i guess you could almost pass a test or you could almost be home. I guess its just a word you use in a sentence. Soo yeah. Very random.

  36. almost? well thats different. you can be almost home ,or almost there or almost whatever really………………………………. ALMOST THERE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. The day is ALMOST over. Almost is a crazy word. I don’t like it because it is never exact. You will never know for sure. Yu are always guessing with the word, almost.

  38. Almost. They say it only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but it really depends on what you’re talking about. If you’re working with a computer circuit board, almost will mess everything up. If you’re looking at something like typing a paper, 1/16 of an inch won’t make much of a difference.

  39. we are almost there!

  40. I almost woke up late today because my alarm clock was almost not loud enough! My cat almost fell off of my bed when I was about to leave for school! My friend almost missed the bus! I almost DIED because a door almost hit me in the face! I ALMOST DIED!
