It's been almost a year
And I still want to wrap my arms around you
Feel your skin twitching under my cheek
Scold you as you turn
Teeth bared
Ears back
I miss itching your belly
Your upper lip stuck out
Scatching the air
My nails getting the bites
I miss your pissy attitude
Your gentle smell
How you stood when eating
I don't regret my decision
I remember how
Even with painkillers
You shook because the pain was so bad
The sweat that ran down you
That look in your eyes
And I knew
What you had tried to tell me
Only a few hours before
I'm sorry I made you hang on longer
Should have held on even at the end
You were the one I couldn't break my word for
Even though I let you down badly then
You gave me hope so many times
And a reason
You made me grow up
Accepted my flaws
Just demanded carrots
And a little skin
You'll always be special to me
My little flea bitten
