My Best Friend.

by Paige   Jan 5, 2007


I reach down by my side
the place you always were
I look around, I call your name
until I remember

It was not too long ago
that you fought your final fight
you struggled to hold your last breath in
as I held you tight.

"Its Ok" I whispered
softly in your ears
it was hard to say much else
while swallowing back my tears

"Its OK\" said the vet
"Everybody cries"
then with every drop she injected
I saw light leave your eyes.

Through tears I said "I love you"
And managed to call your name
But you did not perk up your ears
Or look at me the same.

You did not look at me at all
But your stare pierced my heart
For I knew what that look meant
We'd forever be apart.

Now I know we'll meet again one day
This is not the end
Because you were not just my doggy
You were my best friend.

**Dedicated to my dog.... ='( I can't even remember a day without her. I got her when I was 4....and I had her for 12 years. she was an Aussie....and she was my sister!! she had her own twin-sized bed in my room and everything...Im soooo upset. I sleep with her brushes and toys and leash and stuff and a picture of her is my pillowcase....I cry myself to sleep every night. I dont know what to do.... ='(
