It's been a while since you left
Nights & days couldn't sleep with the memories that kept flashing
like maybe l should take the blame.

I'm in love with the girl next door
she is pretty
My heart keeps falling for her
Even when l don't know her name
I can't describe these
feelings
A crush
An infatuation
At least it is not a hallucination
I'm in love with the girl next door
Today,she said hi to me
It was a golden moment for me
As l absorbed melodies from
her voice.
At least l now know her name
And will write my story
starting with her.

Days run so fast.
Just yesterday,l was 10
And today ,l'm 15
And tomorrow, l will be 20
And maybe 40.
Hope l make it to 100
And tell stories to my grand
kids
About the walls l had to break
to survive
Some to make them smile
Others will be sad ones
And maybe they will cry
But in the end,each struggle
will be worth it.
