Almost Here

I've heard this duet song by Brian MacFadden and Delta Goodrem a few times but only recently I paid attention to the words, and I think it is quite realistic, and sad in a kind of way. Guys, go talk with your woman, and BE THERE completely.
So here's the lyrics, middle part excluded or else you say I cheong hei. Click on the post title above to listen to the song.
Brian:
Did I hear you right?
Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?
Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
Brian: Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
Delta: And when I hold you, you're almost here
Brian: Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted

Brian & Delta: And now I'm with you, I'm close to tears
Brian: Cause I know I'm almost here
Brian & Delta: Only almost here
