Skruffy n Flea Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 i was probably aware of you already but i hadn't been around for very long and so it was only yesterday that i got to know you --- you were so much like the rest but suddenly with such flourish and grand flair, you made sure to get the attention you craved... over the next few small hours, i held you as you shook, bathed you in cool water, walked you on soft grass, stroked your back, petted and kissed your beautiful head, yet not once did you moan... you had something to say and so late in the afternoon it became known that the next stage of your life would be without quality and the decision was made --- i took you for one last walk and then sat cradling you and stroking you, and as i gazed into your soulful eyes, i whispered to you and i promised you that it would all be better soon; and then it was time... i lost my resolve and i'm sorry i couldn't be stronger for you but you'd found and nestled into a piece of me and i don't know yet what to call that piece of me or even where it is in me, but for now, it's where i feel you... you were not mine but i cared for you and i cared about you and i hope i helped to make it different for you and gave you some of the joy you might have remembered from a much earlier time... i heard you were a gentleman and that it didn't take long and i'll be forever grateful for that --- i heard you received love and pats and kisses from those attending to you and that in those final moments, you knew you were loved... on my way home that day and with the radio blaring, every song was yours, but the one that really struck a chord with me was natalie imbruglia's and as if it was all coming from you and without repeating it all here, i'll just agree that i was a little late, you were already torn...now that you've reached the golden meadow, look out for my bud, thomas o'malley kat esq; he'll keep you in good company and if you don't mind waiting for me, i'd be honoured to escort you across the golden bridge when it comes my time... rip, dear boy --- your time here was not for naught, for you have made my world different and i promise now to make it different for those you shared space with...
