Almosts...

In a moment of reminiscence, the almosts come rushing back:
The almost-theres, the almost-withs, the almost-faileds...

And now, is it time for their almost?

There's always the has-beens.
Of times that were kinder. Happier.
Does the current state of affairs trump the has-beens?

The what-ifs.
Sustenance for the ghosts of yesterday.


I came.
I saw.
I conquered.
And I set free.
