I’ll always remember the look on your face
you held me and giggled with glee,
my head told my heart I was in the right place,
this was just where I wanted to be.
The best of all friends we were from day one,
I loved you and knew you loved me,
our adventures through life had surely begun
as pals for the whole world to see.
When we first met we were both the same size
and that was just how it should be,
together we’d grow and I knew in your eyes
our friendship and love held the key.
Adventures were many with you by my side
having fun while we’re out on a spree,
the days grew much longer but I had my pride,
shut away here where no-one could see.
The cupboard was lonely, so dark and so cold
I thought I would never be free,
all that I wanted was someone to hold
and for someone to want to hold me.
The seasons have passed me and turned into years,
“Please love me”, is my silent plea,
my tummy is wet from the fall of my tears
and darkness is all that I see.
The cupboard door opens and I’m bathed in light,
I’m scared and I fall on my knee,
someone just kissed me, oh what a delight
“Do I know you…you seem to know me?”
Now new little fingers are holding me near
and stroking my soft fur with glee,
I know that I’ll love him and I’ll have no fear,
together it’s just him and me.
