To my Basee Boo
Sometimes you're my only friend
My only shoulder to cry on
Or fur to bury my face in
You lick my tears away and make me smile through my tears
You curl up beside me at night and I don't feel so alone
I sleep through the night and wake up with you on the pillow next to me, under the covers....
Like a human
Which starts the day off with a laugh and a "oh Basee."
When I'm watching tv, you always curl up next to me, chewing on your bone
On our walks, you run ahead but, always stop and wait for me to catch up
Chase is your favorite game, and I just have to pretend to run to get you going
You smile at me with those brown eyes all the time
Your ears go down when you know I'm angry about my life again
Then you're right there when the loneliness is too long and the tears start again
You just love me
Not because I begged you
Not because I sacrificed myself to make you happy
You love me simply because I love you
And that's why my Basee Boo
You'll always be the one who rescued me
