Well…here it is. The end. This is plain and simply the note/poem left by Kerry to Jack.

Thanks again to everyone who reviewed!

It had been a few weeks since he had gone to Sams office and told her to go home.

He had thought about it a lot, he tried not to, but he did; the letter is what I am referring to now.

Today had been very stressful…more like this past week. Jack had gone through a lot…he was in the infirmary for three days. The mission he had gone through was…scary, even for Jack.

When he got home, all he wanted to do was to eat, drink, and then sleep.

He was so tired…going for a spoon, he accidentally opened the wrong draw; the one with the letter.

Jack looked down, and raised an eyebrow. He had tried to forget…he REALLY did…but nothing worked.

He picked up the letter and opened it. He carefully read it, as if he was reading it for the first time.

Jack couldn't help but think, "Why am I even reading this…when I have been trying so hard to forget?"

Maybe the reason Jack read it was because deep down he didn't want to forget…he wanted to remember…remember that he had dated someone just to prove to himself that he could move on from Sam…that if she was with someone else, then maybe she really wasn't meant for him, and that he COULD be with someone else…but he had spent the last eight years of his life wanting to be with her. Sure there was the occasional alien 'girlfriend', but he had always liked- LOVED –Sam.

He read the note one more time before placing it back in the draw and heading upstairs to bed, forgetting the hot meal he had made that was sitting on the table and forgetting that he had ever dated Kerry.

Jack-

I close my eyes And see your face

I feel the warmth of your embrace

But none of that mattered anymore

Once I saw her from the door

I want you to know that it's ok

That you've loved her everyday

That we've been together and since before

Then, now, and forever more

-Love,

Kerry

You will always have a place in my heart

You always have, from the start

The End…

…I know that the poem is a little corny, but hey, I tried, lol.

Thanks again for reading this…and thanks again for all of the reviews!
