THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
Morning and nights the clock is still ticking.
Countless days pass since that summer
It been too long but im still waiting
It is a crazy idea to tell you that im in love with you
I remember when we grew up playing in the sand box
Our parents lets us play together even though it is forbidden
A boy and a girl could never be mix
but here we played and let our imagination run wild
I remember my first fight all cause i was trying to protect you from another
Middle school pass and we still here
High school came and we still here
College came and everything was different.
I remember your first boyfriend you introduced me to
I ran home that day and cried the whole afternoon.
I couldnt comprehend that, but it hurted everytime i see you with him
I never thought i felt a way about you until you was with him
Life hit me when reality came clear as diamond
Yes i remember in 10th grade high school
During our courses in Angel high, we fell apart
Nomore hanging out after school together
We both got grown
I met new friends and you was the school sweetheart
Never had time for each other,so we became unknwon to each other
I hate the fact it was all Hi and Bye
I miss the part when we go shopping together
I watch you from far away as you progress
You became a trending topic all where you go
I cant believe i grew up next to you and not knowing you was that important
I always saw us as friend until your body started changing
Getting older gave me another eye i see things different
You became a woman that i always wanted and dreamed of
My only wish was if only I could of seen this coming i would of made you mine
Before anybody knew you we use to share jordan's
Whatever was mine was also yours
I remeber our little adventure back in middle school
I swear you was my first but misfortunate it has to stop there
I remember when we first tried it, we were still young
The feeling felt unknown so we got scared and stop
We promise each other we will never do it again
Yes we did kept our promises
Our innocent minds caused us to go down the friend path
We never knew better
High school graduation that when i finally spoke to you
I remember your smile to me
You felt like you made it out in the world when i felt like, wow here she goes
Never to be seen again in couple of years, you left the state
Two months after graduation you waited no time and left the state
It was loneliness all over
I've felt like i lost my other half
I didnt want to believe it so i dated many girls in our town
Non relationship was like ours
Thats why it never worked with the others
Days pass and i seem to lost sight of you
Your scent i could no longer detect
Your memory fade from my brain
Knowing i chose to erase them the pain was to great
We spoke few times on the phone but that got erased also
To me it was heavily painfull to speak to you miles and miles away
Three years goes by never to be together
Thats when I stumble upon you visage, Live on TV you just had to show up like that
Everything came back to me and i nearly fainted with joy
I was proud of your success
Seen you on TV reporting news everynight was good enough for me
Now I can see you when i want, o how happy i was
Now im staring in your backyard to see whats going on
I was sleeping one day until i heard voices
Next door where you use to stay is making quiet the noise
I knew something was up
Thats when i hearded your laugh
My heart drop i felted weak i stayed frozen over the gate watching carefully
Mins goes by i've waited
Not knowing you was looking at me back from the upstairs window
I forgot you knew me every well
In fact our first time we met i was in my backyeard and you were too
I heard your voice and i ran towards the fence just to see who it was
You saw me and ran dont know who was that little boy staring
You ran inside but after a min i saw you peeking through the window upstairs too
For few days it went by like this, Yes i remember
Every afterschool i rush always runing down the street just to get home
Here you are and here I am staring through the window until one day you decided to give a try
You came down stairs and greeted me
Since then we were unseperable
Now that im caught you knew I was watching, I knew I was on your mind also
Why would you be at the same window staring outside for
When you smiled and told me you coming down, I wanted to run
You have change much, grown woman you are
I jumped the gate to meet you halfway like usual
When you came you jump on me and hug me
But the kiss you gave me i never thought
O gosh we both fell into the ground
You was on top of me and im looking up from the bottom view
Confused, not knowing how to react
You smile and told me you missed me and kissed me the same way again
I knew then you was mine
kissed her back with passion, we both shared tears, i did not know you went though the same pain i went too
The girl next door was my wife all along
Im glad I've met you, making my dreams come true
You are my girl next door
