Babygirl

I still remember whispering my last words to you, my hands trembling as I held you close for the final time.
I told you how much I loved you, how grateful I was for every moment you gave me, every tail wag, every gentle look, every bit of comfort you brought into my life.
As you closed your eyes and took that quiet breath before crossing the rainbow bridge, a part of me went with you. The silence you left behind is deafening, and though I know you're free from pain, my heart aches with a grief that never truly fades.
You were more than a pet, you were my heart in another form.
