I think i said I love you
Tens of thousands of times
Knowing full well the end was in sight
Each syllable a rivet in the armor i tried to build for you
Built with paper thin words
Held together with hope
Knowing all too well the end was drawing ever closer
Seeing your golden mask fade to silver
And your little tick tacking steps lose their tempo
I tried every second of every day
To be ready

I knew you werent scared like i was
You got to leave me as you
And i got to be there in the end

Everything hurts
Heart filled to burst
So much love for such a tiny friend
With nowhere to go
A destination left only in memory
Healing the little empty piece that went with you
Tending the last of what was good and sweet and innocent

Everything is okay
You can rest now

Goodbye Babbers, I'll miss you forever
I love you
