I get jealous over someone who isn’t even mine.
It’s embarrassing, honestly.
Feeling jealous over someone who hasn’t promised me anything.
Someone who owes me nothing.
Someone who might not even like me back the way I like them.
But here I am —
getting irritated when I see their name pop up with someone else,
getting quiet when they don’t text back on time,
overthinking when they post something that doesn’t include me.
I act unbothered.
I pretend I’m cool.
I respond with “lol” and emojis like my heart isn’t acting stupid.
But inside?
I’m burning.
Not because they’re mine
but because I wish they were.
I know it’s foolish.
I know I have no right.
But feelings don’t wait for permission.
They attach themselves quietly,
softly,
and then violently —
especially when you try to ignore them.
Jealousy without entitlement is the worst kind.
Because you suffer silently,
pretending you don’t care,
while hoping one day they’ll choose you
so you can finally stop lying to yourself.
