I am jealous of the wind that ruffles through your hair

Every day it is leaving me in despair

I am jealous of the wind that caresses your skin

The way I think of you can be considered a sin


I am envious of your steel blue eyes

Hiding your emotion with a disguise

I am envious of your bewitching scent

Making me want to scream my commitment


I am jealous, oh so jealous, of everything you touch

My head's already telling me I want too much

Still, I am jealous of the ground beneath your feet

Without you my heart feels incomplete


I am envious of the way you breathe

Making life seem easy to live

I am envious of the way you smile

Always responding with style

Your flair has flaws but it still makes my blush

You're getting all the applause

While I think that you might me more than just a crush
