So what you're trying to do is read ahead by one line without affecting the input? Not possible. You need to write some code that will keep two lines in a buffer and process those instead, perhaps a bit like this:

Code:
awk '{ d[(i=(i+1)%2)]=$0; out(); j=(j+1)%2 }
     END { d[(j+1)%2]="EMPTY"; out() }
     function out() {
        if (d[j]) print "CURRENT LINE: " d[j] "\nNEXT LINE: " d[(j+1)%2]
     }' testawk.txt
