Jealousy
I was mistaken as someone’s third party today. Heaven forbid! Since when did I gain the dubious honour for having such vixen charm to cause such unhappiness? But this little episode also goes to show that if you care about someone, you will get jealous no matter what happens. If your other half starts getting chummy with someone else or seems to be walking on cloud nine recently, alarm bells may be bringing. But at the end of the day, open communication and trust are the important ingredients in any relationship. The only scary thing is that you may care too much for the love to turn possessive. Take heed, my friends.
Still chuckling at this misunderstanding, I wrote this in the bus on my way home.
Jealousy
Even though you and I have parted ways,
you are still tracked within my vision ray.
When I see you make eyes at someone else
When I see you become happy of late
I can’t help it but start to get jealous.
You can’t blame me. This is human nature.
Was it not me you hugged fervently once?
Was it not me you kissed tenderly once?
Was it not me you loved ardently once?
Come soothe my ruffled feathers. Speak your ground.
Come nurse my bruised ego. I’m still around.
Once you were my dear and always will be.
Try you may but you cannot hide from me.
Deep down, I know not how to set you free.
