The Vision Across The Way.....

Sometimes I wonder who you are, and why do I feel I know you
Even though, you're just a person across the way, close the window
Move the flower pot, pull down the shades, same time every day
Sometimes I think I see your lips move,  wonder what you say
Did you have a good day, are you humming to an old tune you know?

Sometimes I fantasize that you don't close the shades, and we begin to talk
And I float away in your wonder, not listening to the words you say
When slowly, your lips break into smile, and I hear you singing "Lets take a walk.."
And my mind sees my mouth moving, " I don't think I can today!" dammit,
I feel like such a fool, but then, I've always been this way
Just a man with no balls,afraid to truly go out and play......

Maybe tomorrow, has become my mantra, until I see you each day
When a pause in my daily intake, suddenly slaps me awake one day
Just in time to see you there, undressing, having forgotten the shades
I turn my eyes away briefly but cannot control the pounding of my heart
I stand there, frozen, like a trembling, emotional lobster
Afraid to break from its hardened shell
When suddenly, you're staring back at me
And I begin to melt into a puddle, a puddle of humiliation
Until your lips break into that familiar smile I recalled, and you spin
And you dance in front of your window. like a dancer atop a jewelry box
Like a dream, moving In slow motion, an emotional rescue worker
Coming to save my heart, from total annihilation, so I raise my window, I smile
"Haven't seen you around in a while!", and you laugh ever harder
Saving me with each breath you take, and I wave in silent victory
For the girl across the way, has unwittingly saved my misery
And she turns again and blows me a kiss, and then smiles back at me
As she walks away........
