soon, i will say good-bye.
i will hold you between my palms as you take your final breaths
i will look into your eyes as they close for the last time
i will whisper "i love you" as you still in my arms
and i know
i will wonder if having you was ever worth it
i know
i will cry and scream with the bitterness, the injustice of it all
and i know.
i will decide that i could never regret loving you.
i know, i know, i know.
every time i look at him i am reminded of how he's coming to the end of his life.
is it odd that i grieve him when he's still with me?

love you forever, my puppy.
