  Tonight I'm thinking of what song to post here.  I was looking through some of my favorites and I came across one I sang at karaoke last weekend and remembered how much I just like the story behind it.
 For anyone who has ever had a crush and wanted someone you just couldn't have,  this song sums it up.  It's from Les Miserables and it's called On My Own.  And now I’ m all alone again Nowhere to turn No one to go to Without a home Without a friend Without a face to say hello to And now the night is near Now I can make believe he’
s here Sometimes I walk alone At night when everybody else is sleeping I think of him And then I’ m happy With the company I’ m keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head On my own Pretending he’
s beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain The pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty In the river In the darkness The trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me For ever and forever And I know It’ s only in my mind That I’ m talking to myself And not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say there’
s a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river’ s just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare And everywhere the streets Are full of strangers I love him But everyday I’ m learning All my life I’ ve only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that’ s full of happiness that I have Never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own I know it is a sad song,
 yet I still feel a little uplifted by it.  One thing to remember about love is even when it isn't returned,  think of the joy you feel when you get a little bit of that person in your life.  Knowing that the person is sharing themselves with others and learning how much joy they are spreading.  Caring for someone is not a crime.
