Smokey,
My beautiful little man.
How I wish I could see through your eyes!
I know what it must look like for you,
When I dance in the kitchen,
Or sing Eye Of The Tiger at the top of my lungs...
Right in front of you.
Or when I sometimes kiss you silly to show affection.
Truth is:
I don't have any other way to say,
How much I love you, kitty.
Those times when,
I pick you up and take you to my room,
It's not to hurt you.
It's so I can feel your closeness.
The times when,
I softly pet you,
I just want to touch you
Before I lose you forever.
And every time,
I throw your food in and put water alongside it,
It's just so I can spoil you.
Truth is, Smokes,
I'm scared of a world without you in it.
The day that,
Your hair started to fall out,
And when you started getting asthma:
I felt like crying.
Because, all these years with you,
Were too few.
If I can only have one more day with you,
It will not be enough.
Smokey,
My little blue eyes,
Please understand...
