12th February.. The day I try to forget

12th February has always brought me a drop of happiness and a glass full of sadness.... But still can't do anything about it, cos it is going to come into my life every year.... every single year. I have a goddamn good memory that doesn't forget what all happened....

Some of you might understand this post in anyways you like, but the truth is, be it 2007 or 2012, on this day, I've lost a lot of precious things in my life.... things that I can't get back, the moments that I can't recover from, ever..... The moments that never skip off my mind.

Every time I see a group of friends coming out of college, and discussing their after exam party plans, I get to remember my last exam of the first semester, where I almost survived but lost a friend in front of my eyes. We were all so happy one moment, and the next moment, we all had tears in our eyes.

Every time I see someone on phone, I remember the call that lasted for so long, never looked like it would end, and all that went on in the conversation was the beginning of one of the greatest losses I'd faced. Although I had enjoyed a lot during the day, the week to follow had been a week full of worst nightmares.

Someone might put in their own dates over here, or put themselves in the sufferer's shoes. But let me tell you, the situations differ, the level of pain differs, and so differs the ways in which you recover from this situation. The first one hasn't yet left my tongue, and the second one just added salt to the taste. I might be acting like a jerk by not letting go, but the truth is, you can't, because its always there on your mind. We just give other things higher priority. For me, I get involved into so many things nowadays, just to keep my top floor busy, because the longer it remains idle, the more it thinks of those times, of the day, February, the 12th ...
