I look down from the window.
"This is gonna be enough",
I think to myself as I grab the sides of the window and attempt to climb it.
I sit on the window sill with my legs facing outside, everything looked so tiny from up here, the cars, the buses, the stray dogs.. Even the humans..

I feel like crying and a tear escapes my eyes, I look to the ground and take a deep breath.
"It's time to let go", I think to myself.
My cold fingers slowly let go of the edge and I close my eyes. I feel myself being pulled.
My breathing hardens, and I fall, maybe to my death..
"I'm sorry, Sid", I say before I close my eyes, maybe forever..

The question he asked was tricky, one that felt like a trap- if not careful one might fall, sinking into the never-ending abyss. I averted my eyes choosing to watch the dark skies instead of those familiar amber eyes that now held darkness I had yet to know.
"I do not know."
"To be at peace is a frightening thought as much as being left with loneliness is.
If I could choose, I would choose to not feel at all. "
