Jealous

We used to say that distance didn't matter and that we will always be there for them.

But it is painful to know we could never win over the distance when someone you love needed you and you literally aren't there for them. When we are needed for them not to stumble off their sanity but we can't help but only be there for them through words because the distance in between us and them hinders us from immediate providing our presence which they needed the most.

Isn't it bad to feel jealousy? To the person able to be near with them?? They say love blooms even more in the darkest moments. But it is in their darkest moments that what they have of us is our absence. Will it be valid to blame the distance? Or the heart that choosed to beat for someone not near??
