the unattainable

why is it that we want what we can't have?

i have wanted someone my entire life, obsessively, and i've finally come to terms with the fact that he doesn't want me and will never want me, but i still can't stop thinking about him and about scenarios that could play out in the future. i don't even know what it is about this guy that pulls me in so strongly. he's not the best looking, and he's definately not the nicest guy around, but still, he has a magnetic pull on my heart strings that i can't wrench free from.

why do we do this to ourselves? is it in human nature? it seems that as far back as time goes mankind has wanted what was just out of reach. and if it is in human nature, why haven't we evolved enough to drop that specific trait?

why do we want what we can't have?
