She admired him from afar

Her deep brown eyes twinkled in admiration

In her heart, love was blossoming

With hope that one day he would notice her

As she observed him with his family,

She etched his good features into her head

His white teeth gleaned with each smile

His laughter rang in her ears like a catchy tune

He was goofing around with his cousin

A rare sight to be seen

Not even one glance was spared her way

With a sigh, her eyes returned to her book

It seemed fate had written their destiny

To remain neighbours.
