Why me?

A solitary adult on a city pavement, wind, sunlight and rain subtly reaching towards an absent companion-shaped space
Surrealist painting · AI-generated interpretation

Why did I meet you ?

Before –

a street was just a street,
wind just wind,
sun just sun,
rain just rain.

Did I say I wasn't jealous ?-
I lied.

I'm jealous of  the street,
because its pavement accompanies you through the city.

I'm jealous of the wind,
because its breeze runs through your hair.

I'm jealous of the sun,
because its beams caress your skin.

I'm jealous of the rain,
because its drops cover your neck.

I' burning with longing,
when I can't be with you.

Before –

a street was just a street,
wind just wind,
sun just sun,
rain just rain and
I just  alone.

Say hello
