your dog

oh to be loved the way i love

like a dog i am loyal and without grudge

like the moon i thrive off of your light

like the tide i cannot move without your command

 

oh to be remembered the way i remember

countless nights full of memories and anguish 

countless sleeps that have yet to come

 

oh how i sing to the stars in hopes you see them too

how i walk the earth with the thought that we have touched the same dirt

 

indirect closeness

but do you notice it too?

do you think about how i\'ve gone to the same bookstores

how i\'ve hiked the same trails

my footprints beneath yours

 

do you miss the sound of my heartbeat as you drew near?

or do you miss my dog-like loyalty
