Day 2: Black and White

The moment He left home, my day turned grim. As He walked across the front door, the clear azure blue serene skies with the brightly shining amber Sun and the songbirds singing their melodious songs to their mates, all of a sudden transformed. It seemed as though the Sun had died, the clouds wept and the birds were now in mourning.

He did this everyday. Ever since we were together. I couldn't help but think if He really did have to leave. He woke up everyday, a bright shining star and returned home like a demented soul sucked off of all his vitality.

He never spoke to me about where he went. Whenever He returned I was always ready at the door waiting to ask him how his day went. He never responded to my question. But He put on a different face just for me. He was exuberant and spirited just for me. He perhaps didn't realize that I always could perceive his anguish and despair.

I did what I could do best. Make Him happy. I spent every waking moment next to him to get him to laugh and forget about his troubles. He did. Or at least he did so before me.

I remember when we were younger, we would go out and have the most joyful of evenings together. But now the moments we spent together seem to be just mirages of our past. Flickering instants of short lived gratification leaving the both of us craving for more. Maybe age has taken toll on the both of Us. 10 years together... indeed a really long time.

As the days pass I wonder if things could turn around and we could be back to our older selves. If we could be our younger energetic contended selves with not a concern about Life. A life that presently seems to be preparing to bow out at the Stage of Existence.

I wish I could complete the journey of life with Him. But as Nature has unique ordinances to follow I will not be able to. When I'm gone, I hope He will celebrate and cherish himself for being Him. Because nobody knows Him completely like I do, And I know He deserves only the best.

I will always love Him. Unconditionally.

  These aren't the words of a wife/girlfriend. I've never had a pet but I guess if I had a Dog, this is what it would say... if it could. Those of you who do have a dog, consider yourself to be lucky. Love your dog..
