the cat came back and slept for good.
she hadn't been well and had been missing for 5 days.
she came back to say goodbye as i knew she would. and
died in my arms.
10 years in the making for that 2 seconds of trust.
we'd lived in numerous places together. always together.
she always came back and so did i.
it was kind of, the deal.
she slept on my head.
she watched me puke.
she found hiding places and never went far.
we had a secret whistle
and we spoke to each other.
she knew when i was upset
and she saw me through the worst days of my life.
she was my best non human friend,
and i was her best non feline friend.
some human-cat dating site found our profiles matched
and set about the meet.
november 2006 at fy4 4tx.
after that
that was that.
she came back
and so did i
day in
day out
this place and that.
sooner or later it had to end, i know.
"Here with me now
not lost in the shadows
peacefully sleeping
as the night birds sing.
You breezed in and breezed out.
Goodnight my love
Thank you for your time"
