Only

We’re like raindrops about to fall from a cloud. Maybe it will flow into a river or rest in the ocean’s depths. Whatever it becomes is just a matter of ongoing transformation—only the raindrop doesn’t complain about it.

In this text ‘only’ is not clear to me. Does the last part mean maybe the rain drop complains about it though?

Thanks in advance!

'Only' here simply means 'but' or 'however'. The excerpt is comparing raindrops (who don't complain) with us (who do complain).
