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.

If I could, I'd want to be a tear. Wouldn't that be great?

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.

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.

Suddenly I have a thought. Couldn't I just follow him? Be like my tear and fall?

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.
