Looking out the window,rain pouring down the street,she kept sitting there,staring blank.
wondering if he was the reason behind her speedy heartbeats.
she wore specs,was never considered hot,
geek was her name, every one used to tease her a lot.
she was always unnoticed,
never asked for more.
she was the girl next door.
It all started few months back,
when he moved down her block.
She saw him while leaving for college.
standing in the passage helping
his parents with all the baggage.
sweaty on a summer morning,loaded with all the boxes.
she was awestruck couldn't just,stop giving him those long glances.
even then she remained unnoticed,
and didn't ask for more,she was indeed the girl next door.
surprise came, when he took admission in her class,
she just couldn't gather courage to talk, alas!
had cute dimple, light brown eyes and was very smart,
with a charismatic persona that played a hypnotic part.
he got friendly with one of her friends who bitched about her a lot,
she never really loved him but her lie was never caught.
she dumped him for a senior and never noticed those tears,
our girl silently cried,his sad face was like thousand spears.
everyday she would listen to his sad voice on his guitar
making her morning sad yet bright, he was indeed a rockstar.
some months later, they got a project to do together,
she was ecstatic, went over his place on a nice weather.
they got talking and the boy got to know,
our gal was simply cool and was not at all a foe.
she was now no longer unnoticed
yet didn't ask for more, she was the sweet girl next door.
time slowly passed and they became the best of friends,
used to hang out often, studied together on weekends.
the guy started falling for her and she had no clue,
she was head over heels for him, everything felt just new.
he wanted to tell her how he felt but was scared,
she might just break his heart and thus never dared.
one day while studying he found her diary,his heart skipped a beat,
it was filled with his name, it was all so sweet.
he confessed to her on her b'day,several roses in his hand.
fumbling trembling all the way went to her and
kneeling down he said, "you are the one I always wanted
I hope you don't consider me unwanted,
without you my world is just incomplete,
don't be silent, don't get cold feet.
I wish you be with me and fill my life with sunshine,
don't fret I'll be with you just tell me once you are mine"
she took out the roses she had hidden behind
they both hugged and and their souls intertwined.
she noticed him, he noticed her,
they lived happily ever after..
she had all she ever wanted,
need not ask for more
she was his girl next door..
