Some feelings were never meant to become love. Some friendships were never meant to stay just friendships. The Things We Almost Became is a collection of poems about love, almosts, mixed signals, friendship, heartbreak, and everything left unsaid.

These poems live in the space between “I love you” and “we’re just friends” where hope lingers, feelings grow quietly, and sometimes the hardest part of loving someone is knowing you may never become what you imagined.

For anyone who has ever wondered what if?, cared too much, stayed silent, or loved someone they could never quite call theirs.
