As I was reading this, I was feeling like this was written from the view of someone in a relationship or marriage who invested in the other person. I mean this is typical of marriages when we invest in our spouses, build them up and then they either leave us or want to go a different way in life. This was deep.
I always tell myself I will pick a different book - and then here I am picking another one of these short stories. I love these, even though they keep me wanting the book to finish. Great symbolism!
A very clear description of a one-sided relationship. Sadly I can relate to a good portion of this short work.
