My Quiet Neighbor

to my loving neighbor whom I learned to love.. dedicated to Dennis P. Hortellano

I could remember long ago
A stranger who loved me so
He was my quiet neighbor
Who in secrets loved me more.
But I have seen in my past
Another friend of mine.
I thought his love would last
I thought all would be fine.
But not for long
He left without a word;
And left my heart bleeding,
in pain and in hurt.
But there stood still
This quiet neighbor of mine.
Against all odds he told me,
He'll always be there till I'm fine.
As I searched for a mate
Oh how creul was fate
I saw but darkness as no one showed that love
Till my quiet neighbor came as if sent from above.
He sang a song so sincere
Promising he won't wake my tears.
He gave me a smile from the heart,
Promising we will never part.
Without adieux I gave my hand
And there I felt to understand
He's the one I've been looking for
My quiet loving neighbor.
I thank God for 'm not that late
To see and hear his quit love
And all my life I wish to stay
Secured in his warm hugs.
