I'll never forget the day I got you
You were hiding in the back
While the rest all played
I chose you because you were shy
And seemed like the one no one wanted
You reminded me of me
I kept you in my lap on the ride home
Petting you softly
Enjoying your company
Realizing quickly
How great of friends we were going to become
Once we got home you slept next to me
Looking so peaceful and innocent
You helped me throughout my life from that day on
Always being by my side
I remember that first night I before going to sleep
I rubbed my thumb from your nose to forehead
Along that white line of yours
Saying I would never do that to anyone or anything else
That it was a special way of showing
That I would always care for you
A special touch only for you
You helped me through my days
The good and the bad
No matter how I was feeling you were always there
If I was feeling sad you would sit by my side
If I was angry you would cheer me up
If I was happy you would help keep me that way
You were always there for me
Always willing to help even if you were in a bad mood
You stayed by my side since I was a little kid
Coming into my life as just a birthday present
And leaving it as my best friend that I will never forget
You will always be in my heart and my mind
You helped me so much and I would not be here today
If it wasn't for all that hope you placed in me
There were so many times I was worried of losing you
Only after having you a few years you hurt your neck
Doctors told me it was very unlikely you would live
That you would be paralyzed
I cried everyday after hearing that
Thinking my best friend would be taking away
I had to be taking from the school from not being able to work
From crying over you so much
Praying and hoping and crying you would get better
You proved the doctors wrong and got better
You fought through it all and went back to being perfectly fine
I moved and you moved with me
I changed and you supported every action I did
Standing by my side every day and night
Then while standing under the stars I got the news
That you had been hit by a car
And taking to the vet to be looking over
That all you did was lay there the whole time going
I immediately rushed to the vet asking questions
And went back to see you
First thing you did when seeing me was try to get up
Try to get up and walk to me
Because I was crying and upset from how much pain you were in
I talked to the doctors
They told me your pelvis was cracked
Along with other injuries
All I could see were all the scars and blood on you
And I still thought you were the most beautiful
Caring friend I had ever laid eyes on
They told me they would keep you over night
See what they could do to help
But that it was unlikely you would live
I didn't sleep once that entire night
I cried all night waiting and praying for you
When I talked to the doctors and got you home
They said you'd live
But never to expect you to walk again
I helped you everyday as you slowly moved and healed
And you overcame the odds again
You not only walked again you went back to being you
Being perfectly fine and living the way you always did
Back to being my best friend helping me
As I tried my best to help you
Years went by then you got sick
Old age finally got you you
And you became more and more unable to walk
Hearing from everyone
That you may not make it through the night
Each and every night
So I sat by your side
I say by you and helped you the best I could
No matter what your mood was
I was woke up one morning
Being told that you were in the backyard
Unable to move
Just laying there helpless
I immediately jumped up and ran out by your side
Helping you drink and eat whatever you could
I was giving the hardest choice
That I would ever of have to make
I had to call the vet to help you get out of this pain
It was so hard not only with my social problems
But to be calling about my best friend in life
Someone who helped me through every aspect of my life
Trying not to cry and talk to them about it
I then had to carry you there since you couldn't walk
And deal with everyone there with there new pets
Talking bout all the great things they have done
And having people in the lobby ask me what was wrong
What was wrong with you and why you had to be in there
I couldn't fight back my tears
Crying in front of a bunch of strangers
Telling them you had to be put down
I then had to carry you to the back
Where they said they'd be right back
That they had to go to the back for a minute
I looked in your eyes and saw how sad you were
How much pain you were in
I couldn't fucking stomach it
Crying my eyes out I talked to you
Telling you you would have all your injuries healed
That you would be better after all this
That I would join you someday
That I would remember everything you did for me
I would remember you forever
As you licked my face as I talked to you
I kissed your forehead
And rubbed my thumb from your nose to your forehead
Showing I never even forgot our first moments together
Never forgot one second we were next to each other
I tried not to cry once the doctors got back in the room
They asked me if I wanted some more time to be with you alone
How the fuck was I supposed to answer that
To have more time with you
I would of giving my own fucking life
I would of giving up anything to be with you
Because I know if I was in the same position
You would do the same
I told them I had to go
For if I would of stayed there I would of carried you out
And said I couldn't do this
I would of fucking took you away even though you were in pain
And told them I couldn't fucking of done that to you...to us
It would of been the most greedy thing in the world
But I didn't want to give you up
I just wanted to be with you forever
To know no matter what I did you would be by my side
Cuddling and licking me
Doing the sweetest things you could
All because you loved me
So I walked out of there
Crying
And I still cry
Everyday knowing my best friend died
I will never have or even know someone like you
You were the best friend I could of ever asked for
You were a guardian angel
Sent to me to me to help me through
I would of never it this far without you
And I don't know if I can go on without you
I fucking cry every day and night I think of you
I wear your dog tag around my neck to remember you by
That way your always next to my heart
All I want to do is hold you in my arms one last time
Feel your warm tongue lick my face
And know that no matter what stupid shit I do
You'll always be right there by my side to make me feel better
To make me smile as you did everyday of my life
And you still make me smile
Through all my tears I smile when I think of you
Because I know you were the greatest thing to ever happen to me
I will always remember you
I will always want to be with you
And and dumb as this may sound
I can't wait till the day I die to be with you again
I know your up there waiting too
And I promise as soon as I get there with you
I will make up for all this time I was without you
I will spend every day playing with you and keeping you company
Because I miss you
I miss you and love you so much
I have said this line a few times
But I don't think I will ever again
Because there is only one friend this could truly go to
With 100% feeling and accuracy
For everything you did for me
Sugar I promise
I will always love, honor, and cherish you
