My good friend played this song for me, and from the first line, "I've been watching your world from afar," I knew the entire song would click with me.

The spell is definately metaphorical for finally getting that one person that rocks your world, whether they know it or not, to notice you.

And while we're on the subject, my friend also told me that this is how he felt about me...and the song was a spell. We're together now.

My favorite part of the song, though, is the refraine..."sometimes the last thing you want comes in first, sometimes the first thing you want never comes, I know the waiting is all you can do, sometimes,"

The statement is true. But what I love about it is how they go back and say, "I know...sometimes." It's so much about human nature, you know something that is hard to accept, but you don't always know it.

Waiting for that one thing you want can be so hard, and sometimes, it never comes. And there comes a point where the only thing you really can do IS wait, even if it doesn't come, including that person you really want.

I love this song, it will hold a special place in me for a very, very long time.

And Sal, this song just goes to show how important that unrequited (I love that word) can be to someone, even though they might never get it.
