That Girl Next Door, She's About a 4

I used to be normal, just a regular kind of guy then I felt empty inside, with no reason why I searched near and far, for some answer to know how come I feel this way, how come so low? In time, emptiness led to sadness, a fire to burn a plague called depression, in me, now found its turn Feelings caused me to be distraught, a daily job I fought so into my own world I now ran, to take refuge I sought These feelings of loneliness, can't always escape they shatter my soul when they escalate Perhaps this is why, I so need to find that special one, who is exceptionally kind How I dreamt of her at every turn this fantasy alone, to it did I yearn Until a day came, a day like no other I saw her next door, I began to shudder So this girl next door, something about her caught my eye she was not only my solution, amazingly she lived so nearby I saw in my heart, this special way she possessed when I thought of her, I was no longer depressed That was fourteen year ago, exactly four kids ago today so I thought to give my wife this gift, in a very special way A poem from my heart, to this special girl, once next door who has removed my depression, it exists no more To my dear wife, how much I owe you on this special day for all this joy and this happiness in life did I pray That plague once called depression, has been replaced with four in whom you know I will forever, forever adore......................
