The Golden Horse

"It's tough doing this,"
"It is. What do you want to do about it?"
"I don't think I can continue with this job. I like it, a lot. But the hours..."
"It's up to you. If you want to quit, it's alright. It's terrible for your health,"
"Yeah... I think I'll do that,"
"Whatever your decision, I'll stand by you,"
"Thanks,"

Troubled by thoughts.

"It's done,"
"That's a little sudden. I thought the plan was different,"
"I know. I just couldn't take it anymore,"
"Hey... it's alright,"
"I need to get out of here,"
"To where?"
"Home,"
"You know I'll follow you,"
"Maybe you shouldn't,"
"I'd follow you anywhere, anytime. Let's go,"
"Thanks for staying with me,"
"Always will,"

Choices made that can't be undone, and never will.
