it feels like the right day

it feels like the right time

it feels like it's perfect


The intense lights of Manhattan blind him, the stinging rain beating hard on the pavement. It all looks stunning from up here. Flawless. The towering buildings disguise the imperfections of the bustling city, and hundreds of cars and taxis blend into the dark shadows. Everything is just a blur.

The rain beats harder, but he doesn't seem to notice. He's let go of one hand now, hanging slightly off the edge of the bridge. But as the rain is getting more intense, his other hand could slip at any time. And he could fall. Fall so fast that he wouldn't notice he was falling.

Of course, he's thankful for everything. His mom, who has been there for a long time for him. But she's fading away. He's thankful for the one friend he had, Ryan, who didn't care about sexuality, and it didn't affect their friendship. He's thankful for his sister, who helped him get ready for high school, who played soccer with him in the garden every summer. But she's also fading away.

Now the rain is pouring even harder, but he still doesn't notice. He's still looking out at the landscape, looking out at the darkness.

Although he's thankful for so many things, he has so much he wants to leave behind. The stupid kids at school who would make fun of him for being gay. Who would laugh at him because he knew the meanings of flowers. They would shove him and kick him behind the school bins, call him names that he couldn't repeat to anyone. There would be worse cases, and they'd make him do things he never wanted to do.

As these thoughts pass his mind, a hot tear rolls down his icy cheek. He closes his eyes, feels the piercing wind bite his face. And as he thinks about everything that has happened to him, he's sure that it's the perfect time to let go...
