For as long as I can remember
You've been by my side
I helped raise you when we were young
And you raised me in turn.
Through thick and thin,
Through fire and flames,
You've always been there for me
We've always had each other.
But when I went to wake you up,
your body was cold and stiff
i wish it was a dream
i picked you up and held you close, and cried,
and cried,
and my friend, i have not stopped crying since
farewell my friend,
i wish for us to meet again
I grew up alongside my cat Halo, who died this morning. This poem is dedicated to her.
