The Red Clock

The moment I saw him smile

I knew he was just my style

My only regret is we've never met

For I dream of him all the while

But he doesn't know I exist

No matter how I may persist

So it's clear to see there's no hope for me

Though I live at 5135, Kensington Avenue

And he lives at 5133

How can I ignore the boy next door

I love him more than I can say

Doesn't try to please me

Doesn't even tease me

And he never sees me glance his way

And though I'm heart-soured

The little boy next door affection for me won't display

I just adore him

So I can't ignore him the boy next door
