I  am jealous.

I am jealous when you smile.
Because it's no longer directed towards me.

I am jealous whenever I see you laugh.
Because it no longer fills the vacuum in my life.
The silence sings sweet melodies.

I am jealous.

I am jealous of the sun.
Its rays kiss the face I no longer can't.
The sun only cast a shadow in my life.

I am jealous of the ocean.
Its waves dance seductively around you.
It's now closer to you than I will ever be.

I am jealous.

I am jealous of the hand you hold.
Because they're no longer mine.
Our hearts are no longer intertwined.

I am jealous that I am only a fragment of your past life.
You were reincarnated into someone new.
The memories of you torment my very existence.
I am jealous of the fact that you were able to move on with your life and I still can't.

Not yet.
