My First Love
Although my tail wags
I feel so alone
Sitting by the window
Waiting for you to come home
When theres shuffling outside the door
And the sound of keys entering the lock
I know that you've arrived back home
And that means a lot
All day I spent wondering
"Where do you go?"
When i'm sitting right here
Waiting for you to come home
That rush of excitement that enters my heart
Seeing your face makes me forget our time apart
The lonely day turns into pleasure
Welcoming back my dear owner, Heather
All day I spent, playing with my toys
But it's not the same and hardly brings me joy
Most of the day, I sit looking outside
Waiting for the sound of footsteps to walk by
On the days that you stay home
We go to the vet
Today you got told, I don't have much time left
The tumor in my body just got bigger
I wasn't in pain until four months later
The cancer spread and made me weaker
I found it harder to eat, spending less time on my feet
My muscles getting more and more weaker
When the day came to say goodbye
Tears continued to fall from your eyes
I licked them away as best as I could
Saying you loved me and always would
That day was then my last
But was kept in your memories for years to pass
You buried me under your favorite tree
The soft textured leafs reminding you of me
It took years for you to find your next love
A young boy in vet school who I reminded you of
A passion for animals and a big heart
There was hardly any time that you spent apart
As you grew older and married that boy
You never forgot me and I'm overjoyed
I flittered through your memory time and again
Reminding you that it's possible to love again
