This was so painfully heartbreaking, it even made my chest hurt. I felt the sadness and longing and the grief, but I especially felt the deep love the narrator felt for this man, this man that loved her sister and was breaking her heart without even realizing it in his dark, dark grief. And it makes me wonder what happened to his lover, to her sister, and how it came to be how it is now, but it also made me acknowledge that these things happen all the time. And I was ruined by the end, when she said that he wasn't hers and never would be and she had to accept that, because even though I knew when I realized what was happening, I didn't want it to be confirmed because some people just deserve each other. Then again, I can't even imagine how it'd feel to be with your sister's ex-lover, even if you two were deeply in love. I imagine it'd feel something close to betrayal and the relationship would have a lot of guilt within. Nevertheless, you wrote this so wonderfully, I felt everything I was supposed to feel, and despite being heartbreaking, it was beautiful.
