Just one night together

Parting is such sweet…

Meeting you tonight was Wonderful.

So glad you could come to my home.

Our time together was sweet.

No need to be alone.

Let’s say goodbye now,

No regrets: drink.

Don't fight it,

Welcome

Death.

    Oooo, this is a double death? One being suicide and the other a murder? Or have I completely misinterpreted this? 😅😅
