Two adults
Living across the street
From one another
Peering out windows at night
From glowing drawn blinds
Spying on each other and
Both knowing it
With smiles and wrinkled eyes
I know it
Two older bald men
Another love story that just happened
Two more people in love just like the rest
Forgetting everything they’ve been given
And everyone they’ve shared before
Letting this be the first and only
Shy as two kids could ever be
Being just two adults
Living across the street
From one another.

Two adults
Living across the street
From one another
Peering out windows at night
From glowing drawn blinds
Spying on each other and
Both knowing it
With smiles and wrinkled eyes
I know it
Two older bald men
Another love story that just happened
Two more people in love just like the rest
Forgetting everything they’ve been given
And everyone they’ve shared before
Letting this be the first and only
Shy as two kids could ever be
Being just two adults
Living across the street
From one another.
