Description
Memories. They resurface again and again in my poor excuse for a mind. I remember when I first fell for you. Your smile caught my breath as you tossed your head and continued the story. Yup, that’s when I fell for you. Fell…hmmm
As I watch the cars drive by below me, I realise their lives are so different to my own. I will never know the person in that silver fiat, never properly talk to the cute kid skipping along over there, never make friends with that hot goth guy. How different would my life be if I had met and fallen for him instead of you?
Strange expression that. Falling. Falling for someone. As my fingers scrape against the concrete of the tower block, I realise how easy it is to fall. A couple of inches and I would be just a splatter mark on the road then gone forever. A beautiful red spatter, something much more beautiful than now. Love is the same. I mean, you can fall for someone so easily…
No effort whatsoever.
Literally falling. Metaphorically falling. Both as easy as anything. Just a few inches and I would falling through the air to my inevitable defeat...
Which is easier? Falling in love? Or actually falling?
Well, I’ve fallen in love before and I know that’s easy. So simple and fast…but amazing. The fall was beautiful and I loved the adrenaline coupled with the wind billowing at my heart and tugging its strings. The splatter wasn’t as good and I swear I never recovered. However, it was all worth it in the long run; can a literal fall ever live up to that?
Perhaps I should try this now? Just to compare, you know?
I take a deep breath. Stand up.
Look down and imagine how the redness will brighten up the road.
Then?
I jump.

This is both beautiful and difficult at the same time, and I have to say I love it. I really feel like this piece has so much to say and it does it so well. I can relate to it personally, and I feel like there's a lot of emotional that can really pull in a million different ways. It's really truly incredible. I also wanted to know if it would be okay if I performed this as a monologue for my drama class, because I'd really love to try that. If not, it's completely fine. And last but not least, I'm sure I've said it before but I'll say it again, you're an awesome person and while I know this isn't necessarily real, it's certainly something that you can always talk to me about and I will never ever judge you for it. And at the end of the day, everything can get better, I truly believe that. Hope all is well, but this is truly a beautiful piece in the hardest way to contemplate emotionally, and I love that about it.

You depicted this as what could happen. It does happen, I have known people that have done the STUPID THING!! just within 24Hrs of seeing them. There is never a note or message left to explain WHY. I noticed when a friend of mine did the STUPID THING!!, he went very quiet and isolated himself as if he was arranging final matters. It is real and it happens. Sorry for pointing this out to you.

I know it's real. like i say in the comments, i have suicidal friends that ive talked out of it more than once. I wrote this as a message. A warning as you will. there are too many stories out there like yours and i dont want sympathy or talk - i want an end to the heartbreak.
