In the darkness I reach out my hand to find you.
I stretch out my legs and you aren't there either.
You sense my searching for you, wake from your slumber, crawl up next to me and go back to sleep. 
Your soft fur and warm body are comforting.
I can feel your rhythmic breathing and your fast little heart beat.
I drift back into darkness. 

In the daylight you are always there,
Like my shadow
I hear the quick tick, tick, tick of your nails on the floor. 
When I look down you are always looking at me, tail wagging, waiting expectantly for whatever I'm doing next.
Sometimes I hear you start to panic if you can't find me.
When I sit you are right beside me snuggled against my leg to keep it warm. 
You are always happy to see me.
You are my constant companion.
