Farewell My Friend

He watched her come home
With a look he was all too familiar with
He knew that look in her eyes
It was how she looked when she came home from another long day
He watched her put her hands over her face
And he watched tears
Flow down her face
He wish he could do something
Say something
He wanted her to know he thought she was amazing
Strong and kind
He watched her everyday for the past two years
And loved her every moment that passed
Even when she forgot to feed him some days
He knew she was just tired from what
He heard her refer to everyday as the “rat race”
He remembered being stuck at that awful
Store where time didn’t seem to move
But his life changed when she walked into the store that day
He watched her examine all her options
And when their eyes locked
He knew he would be chosen
He knew he finally would have a home
From that day
He loved her
And he knew she loved him
When she had that look in her eyes
From another tiring day
He wish he could splash around and let her know
She is a winner in his book
*she walked over
Picked up his food
And opened his tank
She sprinkled his flakes evenly
She whispered to his tank
I love you Lauren Blake II
