Longingly, he watches the couple moving in next door. They seem so happy and connected.

It's the kind of closeness he desires.

He's had to watch everyone around him grow close with each other, as he became the third, fifth, then seventh wheel – always on the outside. He feels as though he is the person they come to only when the people they really want are unavailable.

Infinite loneliness seizes him, the cold desolation achingly familiar. He questions, yet again, why no one connects with him. Why no one chooses him.

Why he is so undeserving of truly being loved.
