Jealousy

= Jealousy =

A smile. That’s what made me look at you. That’s what caught my eye. That’s what intrigued me, What mesmerized me. What made //me// smile.

Beauty is what came next. Your flawless skin. Your modest hair. The way you walk with unconscious grace. The cute way you talk. Everything about you is beautiful.

But there’s more. There’s the way you made me feel. At first, it was a mystery. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">A sudden beating of the heart, <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">A small knot in the stomach, <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">And finally the, now familiar, warm feeling. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I’ve come to love that feeling <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Just as I’ve come to love you.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I want to make you smile <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Just so I could see yours. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I hope you raise your hand in class <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Just so I hear you speak. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I constantly wish you would approach me <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">So I have an excuse to talk to you.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Summing up enough courage <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I decide to finally tell you. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">With my fragile heart in my hands, <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I approach you <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Only to discover //him//.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">My heart shatters as it hits the floor <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">And I stare in disbelief. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Why I am surprised? <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I am not sure. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">He deserves her. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">I do not.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">And yet, I can’t help feeling something. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Something other than knots in the stomach <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Or a rapid thumping of the heart. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Something different. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Something I hadn’t felt in a long time.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">And then I realize. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">That feeling… <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">It’s what we all call the fatal <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Unavoidable <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Little green monster
