Why was the Dozy Embrace so sad?

The thrill of realizing the flashback quickly, and the "I got it" rush was wonderful...and very, very foreshadowing. Had the flashback been less subtle, the clouds of ominous things to come would have been too obvious, imo.
Also, the dozy embrace itself, was, to me, sensationally uplifiting, joyous, moving, emotional, and truly male. The manner in which low-key Ennis dominates the embrace and hums to Jack is one of the most endearing 'love scenes' on film. I rate it up there with the end kiss between Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The richness of their singular being is clear. pure wonder.

Yes, I see the DE as true love which is wonderful joy... its beautiful, but sad at the same time. What brings tears to my eyes is Jack watches Ennis ride/drive away for the last time. The DE is not only love between Ennis and Jack. i know its the last time Jack and Ennis will ever be together.

Too bad they didn't know. I can't imagine what guilt Ennis must be going through.
It hurts to think about it.
