17 years passed by with you far too quickly, my four year old self still remembers the first time we met. Your wide eyes and scared form, how could we have known how close we would be. My heart had bonded to yours before I knew it. Our souls intertwined, your green eyes the same shade as mine, your brown fur almost matching me. How gentle your small paws would reach for me, never had I known such love. Your face only smiling for me, your careful eyes slowly blinking at me, the way you scratched at my door to come in, your begging wails pleading for a cuddle. Your purrs so loud that I still hear them in this moment. Now I look at the windowsill you had claimed and wonder what I could have done differently. My scratched up doorframe from your gentle claws, never to be fixed. The spots that your energy filled around our home, now lifeless and still. Sorrow and disbelief sit in the once warm air. I wasn't prepared. I didn't know. I pray everyday to a god I don't believe in that you didn't suffer for long, I beg the empty skies that you knew how much I didn't want you to leave me here. Alone. Did you feel the love that consumed me? Did you know how much pain I felt for you? Please let us meet again, please tell me that the ground you are under is comfortable and that the flowers we got for you make you purr. Although I was there for your whole life, you were only there for the beginning of mine. My heart aches when I think of you and I hope that never goes away. I will remember you always and even though you are not with me anymore, you will live on cemented in my saddened heart.
