"he needs her because he's got no one else." - powerful.
i like the repetition at the end.

this whole thing is beautiful and tragic. tragically beautiful.

I rather like this. Rather subtle and unclear, but the scene is vivid all the same. I like the repetition and the lack of capitalization. Very nice touch. Overall, it's very emotionally touching. I just really liked reading this. :]

Aww! That was so sweet and sad all mixed together! I love the irregular relationship between these two that makes everything new but yet down-to-earth. Am I making sense? Anyways, I especially love the first two lines and last two lines. Honestly, that could be all there is and you would have a great story.
:))

beautifully tragic. i like the repetition of the first two lines; it's effective.

nicely done piece.

Well-written. This has struck a cord with me in my dealings with college relationships. Glad I'm not alone out here...

and when i ask you to explain you say
you gotta be cruel to be kind in the reason in the right measure

i thought this was very beaitful. nice write.

rowan.

Honestly? I don't much like it.
The ending was amazing, but the rest was just...
Too straight forward and boring. The wording doesn't fit the piece, it should be a little more complex at least; flowing and poetic, maybe.

this is gorgeous. just everything about it.
