Where are you?



She could've been found. She could've been saved. Sooner. Not later. Closer. Closer. It didn't have to happen. It shouldn't have.  
I survived because you were the first. I survived because I was last. You were alone. You were surrounded. You went up. You went around. Because I went down. I didn't go up. It rained. A shadow fell. You were gone. Unfortunately there was shelter. Unfortunately there was no people. Unfortunately you didn't have anything; not wood, not rope, not, space. Not a second. Unfortunately they captured me.
Thanks to you, yet because of you, I am here, not with you. You did it on accident. On purpose. Where are you? You are gone.
