He's gone. They're both gone

Came home from school
went straight to my room.
Went straight to my room as I always do.
I sat in my chair,
just sat and stared.
Got a knock on my door.
It's my sister she's home.
I hand her her lunch
Her reply, "Thanks a bunch."

I leave to the Vet
to get Mimi checked
and returned to find
That for some odd reason
I wanted to jot down a little rhyme.

So here I am now
sitting on my bed
with Mimi beside me
listening to THEIR 2 favorite bands.
When all of the sudden
Mimi sat up and kissed my cheek.
I was crying and she could see.
She could see
that something was wrong with me.
I knew why
Why I was crying.

I miss him.
I miss them both.
I miss my dad
and I miss my 1st love.

It will be my 3rd Christmas
without the hugs and laughs of my dad.
and on the 7th of this month
Well that only happens to be
the day of my 1st loves confession
to loving me and only me.

So now I sit
and I cry
as I try
and I try
To remember
that my 1st love
also said
that he was happier with out me
As I remind myself
to forget the good times and the bad
That we both shared
and to ALWAYS
keep that special place in my heart
for just those few.

The one that has most likely forgotten of me
and the one
that ALWAYS cared.
