To a neighbor...

to the neighbor up the street,

though you will probably never read this. though I will probably never speak to you. even on a keyboard I don't think I can fully express what I have always thought about you. I see you, I see your car, and I cannot move. I cannot speak. I cannot even think straight. I don't know what it is about you that makes me feel like I am back in my freshman year of high school. After three years, you linger inside my thoughts almost every day. I can still remember your unique view on the world around you. I can still remember how your eyes were a shade of green in the daylight, but brown as you lingered around indoors. I remember your smile. I remember you, like seeing you yesterday. Your understanding of others I will always respect. Your view on nature, I will always admire. To you, I am probably some immature teenager who needs to move on. Though to me, you are what I cannot explain. You amaze me, but intimidate me all at the same time. If I had the chance to tell you everything, or the courage, I would do it as fast as you make my heart beat.
