Maybe if I could just get him to see
how much I loved him
he would stay
because I know him
he sleeps with the
window cracked
even in the winter
he needs a drink before bed
because he always gets thirsty
he has a tough exterior
which shields a caring heart
but that didn't seem to
bring him back
he slipped
further and further away
until it was just me
and all these little things
I knew about him
things I could never quite forget
