Dread spread across Myron's face as Pops strolled up onto the stage. Quickly, the hamster tried to cover his face with his small paws. Clearing his throat, Pops announced, "I'll be singing this song for my true love, Rhonda." Chloe rolled her eyes on the sidelines while Tattoo started the music.
Counting in his head, Pops began, "I found myself dreaming in silver and gold. Like a scene from a movie that every broken heart knows, we were walking on moonlight and you pulled me close. Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone. I woke up in tears, with you by my side, a breath of relief. And I realized. No, we're not promised tomorrow. So I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you."
Pops winked at Chloe as he sang sweetly, "In the blink of an eye, just a whisper of smoke, you could lose everything. The truth is you never know. So I'll kiss you longer baby, any chance that I get. I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets. Let's take our time, to say what we want. Use what we got before it's all gone. 'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow. So I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you."
Chloe, once again, rolled her eyes at the old dog as Pops continued, "Hey, whoa. I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you."
The crowd cheered as Pops exited the stage. Even Myron was clapping his paws. Smiling, Pops nuzzled Chloe lovingly while the next contestant headed for the stage...
