Neghdurhood Girl

Girl in my neighbourhood
Remind me of our childhood
She said,
We will grow together
I told my mother
You and i go to the same school
In the rain, summer or cool
Playing at the sand
Walking hand in hand
She say loving you is all i do
I will never lush you
In her view
I wear her favorite blue
She say your love i pursue
All the rough thing i will go through
She said,
We will grow together
I told my father
Your love is all i need
Hold my hand i lead
Us in the forest
Where we built our nest
Exahibite our love
Like the dove
See the beautiful trees
In the love forest we flees
Clandestine our meeting
Playing game of hide and seeking
One, two and three
She run and hide behind the tree
Come out with flower
Throwing them in bunch of four
Jump to catch them and run
Oh! what a fun
She run to me, hold my hand and kiss
Say my beautiful darling i adore the way you dress
Come rain and come sunshine
You will be mine
I usher you in my heart
Complete my remain part
She said,
We will walk to school
She is obsequious and cool
We play many sport
Because the break is short
We cuddle and kiss in midst of her friends
When the break ends
We walk hand in hand to class
I whoop walking with this beautiful lass
That how we grew
If our parents knew
How things used to be everyday
I wake up one day
Find out she is gone away
And leave me in this way
To another world
Remind me of her word
She used to say
Come rain and come sunshine my love is here to stay
Now i goes to school alone
I feel lonely in the midst everyone
I sat in the class
Meditating and looking through the glass
Whether i will see out
Just to clear my doubt
I search throughout the forest
Searching tenacious for you never rest
In every of our clandestine place
Sometimes i heard the echo of your voice
I run there but you will nowhere to be found
I feel frustrated and sad fall on the ground
Many years i try
Not to say goodbye
So you see why i cry
She make this love to die
