It Was Just an Ordinary Day

It was just an ordinary day We woke, refreshed, ready to start the day It is 6 o’clock I made eggs and then we kissed goodbye I watched him walk off down the street I was happy We, were happy I went about my day It was 8:58 a.m. when the phone rang I let it go. I was going to be late for work Why did I let it go? What if it was him? The mood outside was in a panicked frenzy What was going on? Then my heart sank “The North Tower had been hit”, a woman had cried. That was twelve years ago I think about him every day Our last morning we shared What if I had answered the phone? Could I hear his voice one last time I could have told him how much I loved him One last time My heart is burdened by the physical strain your loss has given me I will never forget We, will never forget.
