I hear his breath next to my ear. I feel his heart beating against my own. There is nothing better than this moment simply because I realize he's my best friend. If I am alone, it is by choice because Each night I find him at my door begging entry Just to be next to me until the sun rises again His paws rest on my neck As my arm is stretched across his small frame He uses my face as his pillow Wrapped in each other we sleep peacefully And I wonder if I'll ever be as comfortable with a human as I am with my bad *** dog
