So did you listen to what was said just yesterday?
Did it scare you to know someone else felt the same way?
That he is twenty-five too, struggling on through the indefinite?
It frightened me.
The symptoms are so similar, characters are so close. 
Could he make the same choice that you did without the blink of an eye?
Could he up and dismiss his life on some cold beach on one fucked up night?
He is tired too.
Ambitious just like you.
He wants much more, life just once should open the door.
You were just too tired...
Please don't let him get that tired too.
