The Nitrotype Player Next Door

I am the Nitrotype player next door

Whether your neighborhood is rich or poor

I see you passing, at the cafeteria

At the house with the wisteria.

.

You may never see, you may never know

That side by side we live and grow.

Blissfully unaware of mutual existence

But we try each other's patience.

.

We casually glance in passing

Not knowing we talk daily, expressing

Our innermost thoughts to strangers, 

Preferring anonymity to dangers.

.

You may never see, you may never know

The hidden sorrow I never let flow

So please, be kind, and remember

That words and thoughts repeat in slumber.

.

We work together, stocking shelves

Doing odd jobs, fixing things ourselves

At night, we session and wave

And drool over cars in shop we crave.

.

You may never see, you may never know

The tired loneliness I never show

We session silently, and wonder

Falling asleep on the keyboard yonder.

.

I am the Nitrotype player next door

Whether your neighborhood is rich or poor

By day, with homework we war

By night, we Discord explore.
.

You may never see, you may never know

The dips, the thrills that life will throw

But in our shared experience, we say hello

I'll be back, you reply. I follow.
