Even though he’s older than me,
And we’re different I just can’t see.
My life without him in it,
I want to be with him every minute.
Some days we will just spend time walking,
Often I am the only one talking.
Sometimes we will walk for a mile,
He knows just how to make me smile.
He doesn’t have to make a sound,
For my heart knows when he’s around.
I feel his gentle touch,
And I love him so much.
He’s the one, who chases away my fears,
He’s the one who silently sees my tears.
And even though his days are numbered,
I wrap my arms around his neck while I slumber.
In my dreams I see us running together,
Believing we’ll be together forever.
We’re having so much fun,
We don’t realize when the day is done.
We’re having such a fun time,
He’s forever in my mind.
And then he kisses me awake,
And it’s a gentle kiss from my best friend, my dog Jake.
