Missing You

Endless Future
vaster than I'd dreamed
living a life I never could have guessed
I thought you'd live forever
I thought you'd never die
that when you got sick
if I just loved you enough you'd be fine
I was so wrong
I miss you
life without you is strange and a bit lonely
I wish you were here
healthy as before
that I could pet your silky fur
and kiss your soft ears
I'd hold you as you purred
I'd dangle catnip mice on a string
shoelaces would flutter and fly
I miss you
even though you often tried to eat me
and were moody
You're a cat
How could I expect anything different?
I miss you sleeping on me at night
and cuddling me as I read
Your dainty paws were so cute
and your multicolored nose was adorable
I loved you like a child
someone of my very own
15 years we had together
I wish it had been more
I miss you my precious
