wow, I can really feel the loneliness. I love the simplicity, it fits so well. Great story, thanks for posting.

This is beautiful. The melody of the words.
The pain. It all leapt out at me.
Few authors affect me this way...
Well, not since Charles Dickens.
Lovely. *favs*

Hello! I thought since you were so dilligent in reviewing my stories, I ought to repay the favor. I'm still writing--which doesn't leave much time for reading--but I'll try to read what I can. Although I prefer happily ever after, I did like this. Very sad, but even though I'm a girl, I definitely found myself relating to the "speaker." Not that I've ever been in that EXACT situation, but I dated a guy back in high school who actually liked my best friend, so it was pretty rough. Wrote lots of angry poetry about it. :) Anyway, I enjoyed it. Just wanted to let you know.
