Jealous

I wish I was stronger.
I mean,
I want to be strong.
The trouble is,
I have forgotten how.
I have spent too many months
Being weak,
That now I must fight
To be strong.
I am not sure, really,
How I came to love him.
I have a good marriage.
I have a nice house.
How could I love him,
When I barely knew him?
He has been teaching me.
One lesson I am studying
Is how to be strong.
It is a mental strength,
Not physical.
It is the strength
I need.
He has a girlfriend now,
And he is happy.
She and I are friends.
That is why I need strength.
I must not be jealous
Of my friend.
If I love him,
I will find the strength.
I know it is in me.
I just have to find it.
He is very important to me.
I do not want to spoil
His relationship.
To show him I love him,
I must give him up,
With neither jealousy,
Nor ill feelings.
I must find the strength
To give him to her.
