Tiny may it be, but no means miserable. There are souls who'll feel your sorrow, for you are the world

cosmo

an evening light shines, reflects on his pales face,
although its less than an hour before the sunset,
lights are still bright enough to let him see.
he sat close to edge, the sound of sea below hitting at the cliff
almost sounds like a melody that sooth the soul.
his face almost blank of emotion
he looks to his left, he can see his face smiles bright at him,
happy, not a worry in that smile.
after seeing that face his blank emotion finally turn into a bitter smile.
look back at the sea then stare right into the setting sun and he spoke.
"remember that time we talk about how insignificant we are? all these stars, the world."
there is no response, and he continue
"Compare to the world, the Cosmo we are nothing but a speck of dust... No, now come to think of it, probably even less than that" and he lightly chuckles, and quickly turn back to bitter smile.
still silences from the sides of him. his sight still on the setting sun and continue speaking.
"Yet how insignificant we are, the vast world still lead us to where we are, and here we are. These rubbles roads we walked, the smells of the grass, the rain drops on face, it is all the proof that this "speck of dust" exists. that we are here, we were... here."
He took a deep breath, still looking at the sun that has been half way fallen into the horizon.
He knows that beside him still a worry free looking guy staring at him and resting his hand on his left shoulder.
he stopped speaking, and he took out a pocket flask from his right chest pocket. but he was using his right hand, because his left arm is holding something, instead of holding almost wrap an arm to elbow tight to his chest, it is important to him.
took a drink from the flask, and then put the flask near his left knee and said "here you go. best vodka in town", then turn into wide smile as he thought of something funny and continues saying
"you know, people said that the twilight time is when you can see unseen things, i wonder this time if i can see you again"

as light fades and twilight turn to dusk. He stood up.
unravel what he have been holding in his left arm. 
taken off the lids, walk as close to the edge, the roaring seas below still raging against the walls below.
and poured it down.
"As insignificant we compared ourselves to the world, as long my memories never dies, you will ever live, even the speck of dust like us deserve to be remember, because for you are my cosmo, my beloved friend."
