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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8vEIsUzQDG
Jealousy blooms in my chest.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA37u2aIfTNg
If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?
122Please respect copyright.PENANAktW6WjO7T1
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQi9LwW64pt
No tear is worth being spilled.

"Why then-" I scream. "Why did you leave me here?"
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOnrWtMyYYb
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5uRaRoUuL
My tears dry out, after a while. My head clears up, just a bit.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA51DCt07fxl
Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxb9p8nh47F
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.
