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.

Jealousy blooms in my chest.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPwhPbzTz6f
If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsgPeiqJNZJ
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2yUULBgEXk
No tear is worth being spilled.

"Why then-" I scream. "Why did you leave me here?"

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.

My tears dry out, after a while. My head clears up, just a bit.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACFvgOnSUGA
Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1E5SuctjDB
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.
