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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANADiCaL1In7W
Jealousy blooms in my chest.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAsKOD9QLPVf
If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?
232Please respect copyright.PENANA7maIXEye7f
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAZJz8s8e9XQ
No tear is worth being spilled.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA4lQumPESTi
"Why then-" I scream. "Why did you leave me here?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAdq6B2Jwzwn
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAg9tCchX9a9
Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?
232Please respect copyright.PENANASdOnpoPcfY
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.
