I look back on my life and I'm profoundly saddened. Everything that I can remember ever wanting was never truly mine. At least it wasn't mine for long. When I was eight I wanted that red bike for my birthday and I got it, but within a month it was stolen. Everything since then in my life has been a mangled version of that, well, it was till I met Sydney Bristow.

Since I've met Sydney I have gotten more respect, and a promotion which if it wasn't for her I would have never even been thought of for. Sadly it's a double edge sword because now I can't have the one person in the world I'd give everything up for.

Sydney is the problem and solution to everything in my mind, even though my brain knows better. I'd give up everything if I could be with Sydney. The fact is she wouldn't let me. She knows I like her; I've been almost blatant about it even though I know even more then she does why it's impossible for us to have a relationship outside four walls of that warehouse.

I'm going to throw out a poker metaphor; In your life your dealt a hand and you just have to go along with it, even if it's the worst hand you've ever seen. I haven't been dealt the worst hand ever but it's still pretty crummy. I once heard someone say something like "The worst thing in the world is to be in love with the person sitting next to you but not be able to be with them" or something like that. I always thought that there was something worse, like having the life of your life die in your arms or never falling in love at all but I've come to realize now that, the worst thing truly is being in love with the person sitting next to you and not being able to be with them. In my life I am permanently sitting next to Sydney Bristow.
