letting go...

I miss that cold wet nose Waking me up At obscene hours To go outside Just to sniff a tree And sit Staring up at me

I miss Having to hold onto the edge Of a mattress Made for me Because you couldn’t get Comfortable On your back Paws in the air

I miss the excitement You showed every time You knew I was coming home Bouncing up and down Running back and forth Before I even opened The door

I miss that bark At 3am When the neighbors Finally came home

I miss the fact that you Never judged me No matter what had happened In my day to day

I miss having you around To pet, and fetch And play

I miss having my dearest friend Four legged Shaggy too I miss my dearest friend Named Rex My dog, my number two

Little friend I knew you well And I miss you so
