Jealous Girl

I hate that I have to share you
with the world,
that other eyes devour you
that other people,
male or female
might look at you and wonder
what kind of lover you are.
I hate that I cannot hear
every thought in your head,
that I cannot crawl inside your skin
and inhabit your body.
I hate that I only know
the things you want me to know
and that there may or may not be
volumes of stories untold.
I hate the 28 years before I met you,
the childhood friends who saw you grow
the girl who stood beside you
when you graduated.
I hate everything I can't control
when it comes to you.
