The night was cold and crisp,
Your energy, something I wasn't used to.
You cried as you were alone in the night and I saddened
As we only wanted to be together.
You were 2, adventures had just begun.
New smells, new sights
Happiness, content.
Forward 2 more years
The days were still bright.
Eager to play, you weren't aware of the car.
Luckily you were okay.
Guilt in my heart.
3 years later, you still wanted to play.
Ecstatic for the ball, you didn't see the bat coming for the ball on the tee.
Your tooth knocked in,
blood , pain, yelping for this feeling to end.
Yet still, your tail wagged through it all.
The following year, year 8.
I came home to find my box of chocolates empty on the floor.
You laid on the floor, not wanting to move, knowing what you did was
wrong .
The only thing that moved were the tears on my face,
not wanting to lose you.
I held onto you all night, sobbing, angry at myself.
Drifting off to sleep on your bed.
The next morning, you still had the energy of when you were a pup.
My day was brighter than ever.
You've been my best friend my whole childhood.
I don't know an alternate life without you.
Thank you.
Love, Asia
