Loss and Unconditional Love


He anticipates my leaving
Eyes sad
And I wonder
If I should,
Stay

My heart
Aches
As I
Open the
Creaking door
And slip
Out,
Never unnoticed


I race back
Knowing
What love
I
Have
Missed,
While away


Yet he
Pardons
For the hours
Spent,
Alone

He looks
At me
In a full
Tilt of
Happy
Together,
Once again

The
Tail
Tells
It all.

Love this! My friend sits on the couch all day, looking out the front window and dreaming of catching squirrels. When I come home, I get lots of tail wagging, but it only takes her about two seconds to remind me that it's time for a walk!
