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.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAGQvYDgqznE
Jealousy blooms in my chest.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAA0Nivz4tys
If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?
259Please respect copyright.PENANAmOf7E39U0z
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.
259Please respect copyright.PENANARMD43w33HO
No tear is worth being spilled.

"Why then-" I scream. "Why did you leave me here?"
259Please respect copyright.PENANAum4w2mpePd
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.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAnzrfWwuB1c
Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?
259Please respect copyright.PENANAaymcTq8bOx
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.
