Clever how we begin

a reminiscent

wave of emotion

rolls through our mind.

Tonight while I lay alone

avoiding that

temperature

this runny nose

that freaks me out

leaves me wonder

how might I ever take care of

my dog.

All we have is

an affection

loyal in a soft fur

lays next to me

winter night.

I am alone

though this is ok

love another day

for so does he,

me and my dog
