"You know what I am jealous of?"

"Tell me, Sunshine."

"I am jealous of the girl that is allowed to hug you all night. I am jealous of the girl who is allowed to hold your hand in public without getting strange looks. I am jealous of how you can claim her when she's on it again, and I am jealous of the late night talks. Jealous of the way you will smile at her like she's your whole world because I know, I can't be her. Even though I want to."
