Never Again (To Be Okay)
Never again to have you nearby
Lying underneath my desk or taking your post next to the keyboard, after changing the volume several times by accident.
Never again to have you as company
Resting on the back of the couch or on the wicker chairs, those which were your's (claw marks and all).
Never again to hear your call
Annoying my sis and mom and asking for food, or letting you in from the rain.
Never again to see those quirks of your's
The way you knew where the food was, or how you sat on the fence until someone saw your silhouette through the window and let you in.
Never again to play our games
Training you with 'sit', 'up', 'paw', and 'circle', and having you chase your one prey- the stick which once held glow sticks.
Never again to have our moments
Giving each other looks that the other could understand and cuddle times that we both needed.
Never again to say "It's okay"
Words spoken during hiding from fireworks and those last words I ever said to you.
Never again to see you again
Giving you hugs and feeling your soft fur or just enjoying your company.
I will never be able to do anything with you again.
I will never be able to say how much you meant to me.
I will never be able to apologize for being too late.
I will never be able to be with you during those last few moments.
I will never be able to forget you, my annoying, cute, fluffy, sweet, evil, little baby.

I will never forget the 5th of September.
The day we will never again be together.

Hiatus Broken Momentarily
I wrote this during one of my crying bouts. It was done after I buried my cat, late that night. I wanted something for him.
I was crying a lot during this. My sleeve was soaked, since I just let tears go. I didn't even brush them away until I finished this.
Thinking about this still makes me cry. Even the first verse. He was my partner-in-crime, sleeping next to me or under the desk at my feet as I typed some of my best work. He was the shadow that I teased by pretending to go downstairs and laugh as he tried to beat me.
He was around for most of my life, and I had expected a few more years. Ten years was not enough.
What makes me cry to most, is the last words he ever got from his family.
It was from me.
As we left, I petted his head once more, and looked into his eyes. I remember how scared they were. I held my fingers under his nose, what I do to calm him down all the time, and I said my last words to him.
I had said these words when we packed him into a travelling box, as we drove to the vet, and as we waited. I said them like a chant. Like they helped a little bit, just him hearing my voice.
"It's okay. It's gonna be okay."
Those were the last words I ever said to my cat.
