Those Days

I remember the days when you were here

I remember how much time we had

Wiping away any pains and fears

But looking back at it, I somehow feel sad


The years weren't long

But you will never leave

And our bond was strong

But I'm missing you through all of the sorrow and grief


I know it was the best for you

But that won't change me

All I can do now is just believe

No matter how hard it is to agree


I suffer but you rest

I cry but you smile

Nothing can ease this pain in my chest

And nothing seems to be worth while


Each night I'm alone in my room

Trying to hold back my tears

Fighting back the gloom

Now nothing seems to be clear


But I think of that beautiful light

No matter the troubles and pain

I realize that it's all worth this fight

And that you didn't go in vain


So now we can both laugh

We can both be happy

No more pain, no more sorrow

And we can both continue on gladly


I miss you so, I really do

I know I can't turn back the hands of time

And there's nothing I can undo

But just know that I'm...


A/N: So, I wrote something... As I was browsing through the pictures on my phone, I had noticed a picture of my dog, Snowball, who was put down last year. Even though it's been so long, the pain of her being gone will never quite leave me; but I'm glad. As hard as it was to say goodbye to her, it was for the best. She was really sick, and had kidney problems, and she was unable to control her bladder. I had gotten back from ice skating when I heard my dad on the phone discussing something with the veterinarian. As I kept listening, I could tell what was happening.

Knowing what he was talking about, I ran up to my room so no one would see my crying. Later my dad told me to talk to Snowball one last time; so I did just that. Snowball always loved going on rides with us in the car so my dad said, "Come on Snowball, let's go for a ride." After that, she jumped up and walked out the door. As my dad said that, I quickly ran downstairs so no one would hear me. 

Then later on that day I was out with my dad, buying groceries. We were at the self-check-out, and I was doing it. I kept messing up as I tried entering a few numbers in, and had to redo it about five or six different times as my mind was too distracted on other things.

Every night ended the same way... With me crying before I went to sleep. And I'm not even joking when I say I cried myself to sleep every night. I prayed and prayed, trying to keep my spirit up so I wouldn't make others upset either. I don't think anything will break my heart as much as losing Snowball; my friend.

Sorry, I know this is long but I just wanted to explain things to you. I hope I didn't make you sad; I just wanted to share this with you. I don't need you to feel bad for me; this kind of thing happens. It was for the best. 

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it. Bye, for now! :D
