Ch42: "Dear Neighbour"

"Dear Neighbour"

Divided by windows wide, across the building,

I longed for a glimpse of you,

Although apart and yearning.

In silent conversations, hearts would meet,

In moments soft and bright, our worlds would retreat.

Your smile, was a sun that lit my day,

Though the differences in age stood in our way.

With every glance, my heart would race,

Although forbidden, it's a sweet embrace.

When I watched you dancing in the rain,

Across the building, my heart took flight.

Your laughter, a melody so sweet,

That warmed me through the evening's delight.

Our worlds were never meant to spin,

For the barrier between us was deemed unacceptable by society.

In my heart,

I was deeply driven by anxiety.

I sent flying kisses, with a gentle breeze of care,

But silence lingered through the air.

A tender bond, but too fragile to start,

One that carved a place in my heart.

Now that you are gone, and our love has flown,

The building is still there, but I feel alone.

But in my dreams, your face remains,

A lovely memory that time sustains.
