it's time to go

This closes evermore with a finally-spoken "it's time to go." It's the clarity of having had enough, seen through, and quietly standing up. Haven't you stayed in a room too long, then heard yourself say "time"?

It writes "leaving" without grief or anger, just understanding. Taylor, with bare arrangement, gives a bond its most dignified period. You'll feel leaving on time is its own kindness.
