A/N: Sorry for this mess of emotions and words I call a poem. It's just that Liverpool is my dog who just died yesterday, 22 June 2015. For me to write this poem, I pretty much started crying, for me to edit it again, I will start crying again. So sorry, if you don't like it or don't want to read it, it's fine. I just needed to get the emotions out.

To Liverpool:

You came that day
Broken
Rejected
Scared
Confused
Yet you accepted me
Let me into your heart
My best friend
My companion.

You are small
But strong
Loud and bossy
But a coward inside
You hated bouncy balls
And fireworks
But loved cuddly hugs
And center attention.

You were from the streets
I know
Dumped all alone
Yet you acted as if
You had known only me
Your whole life.

That day
I had a notion
Something just wasn't right
Your happy smile
Your warm welcome
Was nowhere to be found.

Underneath a flower pot
Shivering feverishly
Though you had been sick
A while
This was something worse
I don't know
What would have happened
If I had been any later.

Rushed to a hospital
I'm left behind
In strange arms
I had to leave you.

Just days later
The news delivered
That you were gone
It broke me
To see your body
Lying still
As if you were sleeping
Killed me.

Lies
I wanted to believe
But I knew it was only truth.

Now I have spilled my feelings
Let me get a few words across
To you who has left me for heaven.

Thank you
For changing my life
For touching it deeply
For kissing it softly.

Thank you to your old owner
For giving up
The best thing that happened to me.

Thank you.

Now help me say goodbye.

Let me let you go in peace.

I know you are in a better place.

Thank you for being my best friend.

One day we shall meet again, my companion.
