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.
213Please respect copyright.PENANALCYDOB0dY8
Jealousy blooms in my chest.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAdiH2xFFONs
If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?
213Please respect copyright.PENANAA2WOjRSzg5
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.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAg59Prs86sI
No tear is worth being spilled.

"Why then-" I scream. "Why did you leave me here?"
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeKppvC6oOy
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.
213Please respect copyright.PENANApxLJ1iaDzp
My tears dry out, after a while. My head clears up, just a bit.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKBVG0M4bIn
Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0VcsvdRq2L
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.
