I’d rather go, where pace of life is slow,
no fast moving cars, nor brats in tow.
Somewhere not too far away
but far enough to avoid the fray.
I’d rather go and just lie low.
just me and you
and memories too.

Ahh, to this starts out like the unattainable dream, moving far away, starting life anew, away from technology, the screams of cars...then you state, "not too far away". I sense the subjest in the poem being unsure of taking that step, or of them not wanting to be too far away from family, or perhaps familiarity.
Very nice.
