How to make border follow the cursor in the top navigation bar on a webpage

I have a question. I am making a webpage and I got an idea that the top navigation bar would follow my cursor. Basically, I would like that the border around each link in the top bar would follow where I move my mouse cursor. I got this idea from iOS (specifically from photos) that has a lot of these cool features. Any idea how to accomplish this?

I am also providing you with a link to google drive where I posted the video because as I know you currently can't upload the video directly here.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Sorry, not very adaptative. Can't think about something better right now :

body {
  font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 13px;
  background : #000;
  padding:20px;
  margin:0;
}
div {
  background: #333;
  border-radius: 30px;
  overflow:hidden;
  padding:0 5px;
  position: relative;
  font-size:0;
  display:inline-block
}
.highlight {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  background: #ccc;
  position: absolute;
  height: calc(100% - 10px);
  top: calc(50%);
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  left: -100%;
  border-radius: 30px;
  transition: left .2s ease, width .2s ease;
  pointer-events: none;
  margin-left: 6px;
  width:0;
  opacity: 0;
}
a {
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 12px;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #FFF;
  padding: 10px;
  margin: 4px 0;
  z-index: 999;
  position:relative;
  transition: color 0 .2s;
}
a:hover {
  color: #000
}
a:hover ~ .highlight {
  opacity: 1;
}
a:nth-of-type(1):hover ~ .highlight {
  left: 0px;
  width: 39px;
}
a:nth-of-type(2):hover ~ .highlight {
  width: 42px;
  left: 50px;
}
a:nth-of-type(3):hover ~ .highlight {
  left: 104px;
  width: 35px;
}
a:nth-of-type(4):hover ~ .highlight {
  left: 152px;
  width: 59px;
}
<div>
  <a href="#">Years</a>
  <a href="#">Month</a>
  <a href="#">Days</a>
  <a href="#">All photos</a>
  <div class="highlight"></div>
</div>
