So sad - i can feel how Jack feels, the feeling of giving up, of settling, of knowing what you want and accepting that you cant have it. That's so tragic, but it's the story of life for so many of us..... excellent writing. Thank you. S!

I was kind of obsessed with understanding how and why Jack could move on to Randall. Then the song "Walk Away" by Ben Harper popped up and, though I had heard that song countless times before, it really struck a chord with me in terms of BBM, and all of those things that you just mentioned became apparent to me. Thank you again for reading and for your comments!

I felt the pain in Jack and the emptiness and yes sex even though satifying in that animalistic and bodily nature is unfulfilling when it is with someone who well we are not in love with. Joe

Beautifully done. You captured Jack's sadness and helplessness so well. I like how you describe Jack is hollow inside, after giving out all he have, all he could.

Let be. Let be.

So beautiful and so sad. Jack a "hollow man" and not letting Randall kiss him that was so well done.

Thank you
