I'm jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain.
I'm jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind.
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me

— Greg Santora (via letsbelonelytogetherr)
