"I realized something after this encounter : Some things are just too delicate to be held in hand..." a tear escaped my eye silently, "You might treasure them, and they might just seem priceless to you, which is exactly why you just can't keep them, because you might lose them really fast for they're just so fragile

I smiled as a memory hit me ─a painful, nostalgic and miserable smile.

"Y-You know I once had a golden canary, when I was younger. Even though I took great care of it, even though I loved it a great deal, the time came when my canary died." My unreal smile soon was replaced into a deep miserable expression, and tears filled my eyes.

"I realize now, in retrospect, that that simple incident should've taught me to let go of things... Maybe, if I had let it go, it might've been" I couldn't hold my tears any longer than that, "h-happy." I sniffed "Similarly, if I had let you go, nothing of this" I eyed his state, "would've happened."

Humans learn. That's one thing I've come to see as a perspective of living. People stumble, sometimes fall, but it's at rare times that they keep in spot...
It's weird, but they always tend to stand. It's basically an instinctive act, you've never actually fallen and not at least tried to stand once, I bet. It might turn out the injuries are brutal, but still, you try, right?

I think it's similar. Pain and heart break are no things which last forever.
