As I look across the street all I see is beauty.
I see your flawless skin as the rays jumping off from the sun,
You’re so radiant.
I don’t mean to stare but, sometimes I can’t help it.
I fell in love with the girl next door just two months ago.
She came up to me on move in day as nervous as I was.
She said her name was Darlene, so darling and as precious as she was.
Months later I noticed, I wasn’t the only one who admired her presence.
My gift from God, my angel sent from heaven is now his.
Two months pass, like a 100 meter dash all I could do is think.
I look across the street now all I see is heartache
I see your flawless skin now touching his
Regretful as I was, I knew it was time to move on.
Her sweet voice, her angelic presence is something that I’ll always miss
To her now I’m just,
The Boy Next Door, even though I wanted to be more.
