PATHETIC JEALOUSY

So weird or sad walking past someone in the hallway, acting as if you two were strangers when in reality you used to know them better than anyone.

Well, yeah. You know them. You know the truth; sadness behind their smiles, dew of the corner of their eyes, the white lies--all the things they used to share with you while sitting in the front yard late at night until one of you guys started to feel hungry and decided to have some meals. You went to the kichen, then all of the troubles seemed to come mixed in a bowl of soup;
the unrequited longings, unrevealed feelings, stupidity that makes you no longer part of a rational creature called human. 

It was so warm, so real, so improbable to get over,
despite the obvious.
This morning they walked past you without a smile, 
you no longer been texted, you got no tears on the collar of your shirt.   

It is so cold, so unreal, so irritating,
though they even look happier. 
They do. 

Then I wishpered to myself, 
"But I guess I was happier 
with you."
