My Old Friend
I saw your face today my old friend
You were smiling at me just like you used to
Your face as beautiful as ever my friend
Your bark a song on my ears.
I saw your body today my old friend
You were standing just in front of me
Your body as wonderful as ever my friend
Your legs as strong as they were years ago
I almost reached out to touch you my old friend
I could smell your wet fur, feel it quicken my heart
I could almost feel your soft fur beneath my touch
It made me cry
I blinked and you vanished again my old friend
You passed beyond my sight once more
My friend you went where I cannot follow you
You passed into my soul and my memory.
Please stay in my memory, my old friend
Warm my heart just like you always did
Sit by my side like you always did
Dry these tears I cry for you
I saw you today old friend
Maybe you came to say goodbye
Maybe to say "It’s alright, don’t worry"
Goodbye my old friend, I love you.
