I know this place. It's the day I lost everything.

My nails dig into the rotten wood of the railing. A single tear rolls down my cheek and dives into the little stream beneath my feet.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAqabe3nX6YV
Jealousy blooms in my chest.
229Please respect copyright.PENANADvq6sVwMxv
If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?
229Please respect copyright.PENANAkL7F2whOz6
I'd be born from pain, or maybe joy, but when I'd die, I'd go back to my kind, my family. And then I'd come back as rain.

I can hear his voice again in my head.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAITlC4Yvhtv
No tear is worth being spilled.
229Please respect copyright.PENANA9o4ks8LtMV
"Why then-" I scream. "Why did you leave me here?"
229Please respect copyright.PENANA279SUT4y67
My fingers start to cramp, the wood splinters and penetrates the skin. But the pain I feel sits deep in my chest. I don't think it'll ever stop.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAhHfDMj0NaK
My tears dry out, after a while. My head clears up, just a bit.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAUTZYt4ErK0
Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?
229Please respect copyright.PENANAe6c2CLKdGV
But my fingers won't let go of the railing and so I don't.

Whenever I think back to that day, I know that I should have been braver. Because now, it's too late, and I'm the reason even more people have to suffer.
