My best friend

my best friend she sits by the door

waiting, just waiting for something more

she paces the room wondering when will the time come

5 minutes is like a year for this little one

she laps some water to pass the time

she climbs the stairs

Up and down

hoping this will calm her frown

anxiously she waits

loyalty is her most valuable trait

she will give up tomorrow I say

tomorrow comes and to my dismay

she sits by the door hoping he will show

she starts crying again

as I pull her away

I tell her

I'm your friend and I am here to stay

She cuddles against me and kisses my cheek

But suddenly she jumps and lets out a shriek

She bolts for the door

My heart is torn

When I have to show her that he won't come anymore

she barks towards me and wags her tail

I open the door

and she turns frail

theres nothing there but an empty hall

I call her name as she walks outside

I guide her back in our little domain

but to her nothing has really changed

except one thing

he is not here.

but to her I don't think it will ever be clear

she drops her head and sits on the floor

waiting

and

waiting

until

he's at the door
