Tell me then, what are human beings really worth?

We eat
We work
We eat again
We work some more
We eat yet again
We go to sleep

And every day it's the same cycle, but the world is so much bigger than any of us can even imagine

And what do we do for it?
Nothing

But my life isn't like theirs, does that mean I'm not really human after all?

I suppose not

But when Jeff carried me back into bed

And just the morning after;
Proposed to me!

I could swear I felt human

I didn't cry; I promised o wouldn't do that anymore, but I was close to breaking that promise as I smiled down at Jeff with glassy eyes

What's the right way of telling someone that you want nothing more than to be with them?

I'm not too good at speaking my feelings

After all I only recently realized I had feelings left to speak

So I didn't say a word

I kissed him instead

There was no ceremony or anything (obviously, after all where were two fugitives supposed to go to tie the knot)

He just started referring to me as his wife from then on

I liked the way that sounded

~husband and wife~ see?
It does have a nice ring to it
doesn't it?

Although something in the pit of my stomach made me feel sick

As if I knew something was coming.

The cops already have us in their sights, they're just looking for a way to strike without risking the lives of too many officers

My nerves never settled, in fact they got so bad that sometimes I'd be up all night shaking and even vomiting

Everywhere we ran to the tv would have adds telling people to call into the local police station with information about us

I had no idea how to stop the chaos around me

And like a ton of bricks an idea fell on me, and like a ton of bricks the idea seemed to crush me...

I brushed it aside in my mind but every so often it would pop back up

But it's not too urgent yet... Right?
