When I was 21, I started dating a guy that made me feel like an emotional rollercoaster. For all the great feelings he brought me, the bad ones were so low that I constantly felt defeated.

During these lows and uncertainties I would turn to my best friend at the time, who also happened to be my ex boyfriend. He knew me better than anyone, and did his best to help me. As I am sometimes an inconsolable wreck, there were times when all he could do was send me songs. Music could get through to me when people couldn't.

"Twilight" was one of those songs. It made me feel so many different things. Sad, because it talks about being in love with someone who you aren't available for, and who isn't available to you. Mad, because if he's "already somebody'sbaby", then why is he allowing himself to feel this way for another? These, along with many other emotions, are the main reason this song has stuck with me.

When I hear it, I remember sitting in a pitch black room alone, crying because I hated being in love with a man who could have such a horrible affect on me.

Now that three-year relationship is over, and when the song comes on I breathe a silent sigh of relief. That part of my life is gone for good.
