Jack lay on his roof beside his telescope looking out at the stars. There were thousands up thousands of stars. He watched as a shooting star shot overhead just as the chorus of some song on the radio came on.

Why can't I be

As lucky as those

Other people are?

Oh I guess I must be

Wishin'

On someone else's star

Jack sighed and nodded to the statement the singer had made. He wished he were as lucky as other people. He figured that he had wished on someone else star or wished on the wrong star.

Tired, Jack turned the radio off, gathered up the items he had brought onto the roof and headed inside. He turned on the radio as he passed it on his way to the kitchen to grab a beer. A Cd started playing, and as the lyrics drift toward him, he choked on the beer.

In your eyes I can see forever

Tell me was that all a lie

Can you truly see forever

In one person's shining eyes

Jack walked into the living room and sank down onto the couch. He let the words poor over him. He could see forever in Sam's…Carter's eyes. It use to scary the crap out of him. But now, now he would rather die than see that look disappear from her eyes.

At your touch I feel complete

Am I feeling far too much

Can you truly feel completed

In one persons tender touch

When Sam…Carter touched him, he was complete. Not the shell of a man he use to be. It was as if a piece of him, that he hadn't know was gone, had come home. He wondered if she felt the same way, or was he just seeing things.

In your kiss I taste eternity

Have I judged this all wrong

Can you truly taste forever

In the lips both soft and strong

He rembered the feel of Sam's lips on his. They were soft, yet strong. The feeling of water dripping on him reminded him that he still clutched the beer in his hand. He set it on the table and leaned his head back, deep in thought.

Am I wrong

Was it a lie

Am I asking too much

From you my love

Sam has said she had feelings for him. Was it love? Or was it respect? If it was love, after all that had happened, did she, could she still feel that way? Jack knew that he loved her. But he knew that she would have to make the first move.

I hear

And feel

And taste you

And see your empty eyes

The fight last night still haunted him. When he looked into her eyes during it, they were empty. She had left the bar with another man, no0t him. Tears slipped from his eyes unnoticed. He felt as if he had lost everything.

I hear

And Feel

And taste you

And crumble b'neth your lips

She had lied to him. She had said the man meant nothing to her. That he was just an old friend. Yet she left with him. She hadn't looked back as they were leaving. She had always looked back before.

Your touch

And sound

Are everything

All lost to me now

Jack could feel her everywhere. It was as if she had complete control over him. She was everything to him. And in one stupid moment, he had lost everything before he truly had a chance to have it.

Your everything

Has gone from me

And left me here alone

Left me feeling senseless

Senseless

Jack grabbed the remote and turned off the CD player. He threw the remote across the room in anger. He dropped his face into his hands and began to weep. He didn't care about anything any more.
