"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"

bookend....awesome
Love the line "Symbolic bookend to life"
Chilling... Now, I'll calmly just walk away. (as you would say)
Love it. This hits on how important our time on this planet is.
Very deep are you talking about the beast
I'm still waiting for him to come get me, lol! I'm so sorry that my sense of humour is dark 😅

Another good one. Well done again.
