my neighbour my lover



My neighbor my lover, a secret we keep,
In the privacy of our homes, we embrace and weep.
The world doesn't know, the love we share,
The way we feel, the way we care.

We sneak around, in the dead of night,
Hoping no one sees us, in the pale moonlight.
But when we're together, it feels so right,
Our hearts beat as one, in pure delight.

We share our stories, we share our dreams,
We support each other, or so it seems.
But we can't be together, in the open air,
For mom would judge us, and not be fair.

So we keep our love, hidden and discrete,
In the comfort of our homes, where we can freely meet.
Our love may be taboo, but it's real and true,
My neighbor is my lover, and I love you
