The sun is always in my eyes. It crashes through the windows, and I’m sleeping on the couch. When I came to visit you, that’s when I knew that I could never have you. I knew that before you did. Still I’m the one who’s stupid. And there’s this burning like there’s always been. I’ve never been so alone and I’ve never been so alive.

My life story, it seems, is wrapped in the lyrics of one of Third Eye Blind’s least famous songs.

Always the best man (4x), never the groom. Unrequited love. So nervous to determine the relationship that I always crushed it by waiting and waiting until she could see me as nothing but friend; Then asking.

Careening through the universe, your axis on a tilt, you’re guiltless and free, I hope you take a piece of me with you. And there’s things I’d like to do that you don’t believe in. I’d like to build something, but you’d never see it happen. And there’s this burning like there’s always been. I’ve never been so alone and I’ve never been so alive.

Thank God for e-harmony!
