I wasn't ready
when you arrived
my heart still breaking
for the ones who came before
I cared for you
but for a while
I struggled with how to love you
and then
we started walking together
you got me up
got me out
and we found our stride
our days together
bound by a beautiful rhythm
you showed me the way
showed me so many wonderful things
I wouldn't have seen on my own
and
I wasn't ready
for how madly I found myself loving you
for how you shared your wild heart with me
for how you trusted me
became a part of me
and
I wasn't ready
for our time to end
for you to go
so sudden
so soon
I wasn't ready
to walk on my own
without you
I don't know which way to go
but
I walk on
for you
even though
I wasn't ready

Beautiful poem Melina. He was such an important part of your life and heart. It was great you had each other. It is hard to lose a pet family member. Love you Aunt Trish ❤️
