My Companion

One day I bought a fish and fell in love with it.

Its lovely gills, its solemn face, and shiny flesh.

For two long years my faithful companion was,

Until one day to another life it chose to pass.

For weeks i grieved the loss of this great fish.

Until one day, when my grief was at its peak,

I went down to a pet shop and bought another fish.
