It's the day that everybody in the world remembers <br />because they can 't forget it: <br /> <br />The eighth day of the week; <br />the thirty-second day of the month; <br />the thirteenth month of the year; <br /> <br />The day that's not on the calendar, <br />Yet never off it in your mind; <br /> <br />The loneliest day of your life <br />which everyone shares; <br /> <br />The most unreal day <br />Yet most real; <br /> <br />The longest day <br />which hasn't ended yet; <br /> <br />The day whose hurt you want to forget <br />Yet want to remember in every detail <br />So that it can hurt more; <br /> <br />Yes, how can I forget - <br />it's the day you went away.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0231-that-day/
