One more neighbor, in the house next to me
One hidden smile, from a spy in a tree

One more cat, for me to chase
One more excuse to see your face

One more day I see you smile
One more time, my heart beats a mile

One more memory, made just right
One more confession, under the moonlight

One more dance, at the end of the night
One more hug, I ask, you hold me tight

One more date, a very special day
On your knees you ask, yes I say

One more walk, a very short trip
One more step, praying I don’t trip

One more chance to fulfill my wish
One more time, I pull you down for a kiss

The author's comments:
One of my accquaintances recently got engaged to a childhood friend, and I really fell in love with the idea of loving someone you've known all your life. I'm trying to tell the story of two people who fall in love gradually, over the course of their lives, eventually getting married.
