That Day

That very day, 
The sun set
When I heard it, 
My hands started shaking from unwritten words 
My eyes were blurry from unseen tears
My tongue became heavy from unsaid words 
My ears started ringing from unheard voices

That very day, 
I missed that sun
That very day, your setting broke my heart
That very day, 
That sun set in the South.
About to rise in the North...
But that very day, you set.
