I was in this funk for a while, pining over what I thought was a love lost (well it was just me thinking that actually since my high school crush didn’t even know I exist!) + made each + every heartbreak song my national anthem back then…a few years later, the habit sort of stuck + I was left associating with each + every heartbreak song or lonely love song i hear, one that stands out is this lonely ballad from one of my most favorite band, Savage Garden. Darren Hayes’ straight-forward lyrics + haunting vocals seemed to hit straight home every time I replay it on the Diskman (yes, it’s that old!). His melancholic rendition makes the emotion tangible I could almost taste it + made me ache + cry even when I totally have no clue how loving + losing that person to another actually feels!
The part I love most (and I am plucking these words from memory):
Am I all alone in the universe? There’s no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn’t want it anyway…

I can still remember I was really chasing after my crush when I was in college or just simply trying to wait for him outside of their school. Wahhh, we were friends so he really have to notice me, he didn’t know he was my crush back then lol, that was so hard.
