Sad Max

He could wait, of course he could wait, and watch his heart ache and want and need more and more every day. Now, he was strong, but Max would grow weak with waiting.

There were other choices.

He could break his friend's heart and trust for his own happiness, which of course depended on Adam.

Or he could break his own heart to make his friend happy, which also depended on Adam.
But with this plan's succession, his heart would surely break under the jealousy.

Hate or be hated, love alone or together, heartbroken or heartbreaker, any choice depended on Max's thoughts and Adam's feelings.

And as Max wasn't aware of Adam's feelings, and his own thoughts were indecisive, Max was left with nothing but his emotions to guide him:

Confused, lonely, and above all,

Sad.
