THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

The girl next door sees me and wonders why I am alone, she calls me on phone there is no reply,

I sit alone and wonder where my only love could go;

As the dark sets in, the lights go on, the clouds come in, the rain falls slowly, the road gets wet,

I stand there outside her door getting drenched, the drops of rain that fall on me makes me feel in ecstasy

But I sit alone and wonder where my only love could go,

The girl next door comes to me wondering if I was waiting for her, she lends her hand in friendship,

But I look into the vacant street my desires burning; she comes closer to me so I could smell her perfume She is wearing

could see her beauty revealing,

But I sit alone and wonder where my only love could go,

She was there with me just the day before, and now without any word she is gone

She didn’t even leave a note for me if we could meet she has walked away to goon with life, is that what she had said,

She had said she didn’t care or bother about what I did she found her match and didn’t need me anymore,

Was this the promises we had made? Is it that we will never need each other in our lives again?

I know she needs me more than I need her and thinking she could walk away just by praying isn’t true at all,

Has all the trust and faith broken, that she doesn’t want to see me anymore, were our promises just for keeps sake,

Maybe friends say, family say, elders say love is forbidden in our place but why fall in first place at all?

Was this for which I have waited all these years?

It’s a bad dream I have woken from, all is still no sign of life anywhere

And I sit alone and wonder where my only love could go.

The dawn is breaking, the birds start chirping, and I see the dews on the grass and remember about my only love

The girl next door is still watching me from her window and is wondering who I am waiting for since night

I walk down to my loves door and sit on the steps; I hear the door open slowly the water running in the kitchen

The dog comes out and starts playing with me but I sit alone and wonder where my only love could go.

I start to get up and feel the warmth of your breath beside me,

the perfume you are wearing is similar to the one the girl next door was wearing in the night,

but she was and is not my love I was looking for ,

it was you for whom I was waiting

The girl next door was still at her window now smiling and waving at us

Seeing me full of life as you arrive as you come back home to me as you forgive me and to be with me always

We forget our differences and feel how blessed we are because we are more than just lovers;

we are important part of each other.

The girl next door rings up the phone and says congrats for being together again ,

love is always there to comfort the bad moments in life

and what counts is who is by the side when you need someone at the worst times if at all;

I thank her and say

love is strange ,love is beautiful ,love is faith

love is trust, love is lust, love is honor, love is desire

love is destiny ,love is power ,love is strength

love is fire

and above all

love is life

I sit not alone anymore,
but with you by my side always ,
at good times and at bad times at joy and at sorrow
because you are my only love and you are so important to me
and above all you are my life……
