Last Moments

In our last moments

I hear the clock tick

Hours turn to minutes

Minutes turn to seconds

I miss you already

In our last moments

I watch you sit on the windowsill

Squinting your tired eyes in the sun

One of your favorite spots

I miss you already

In our last moments

I take a picture of us

Capturing the time we have left

You need to rest

I miss you already

In our last moments

I tell you what’s happening

Hoping you’ll understand

Just how much I love you

I miss you already

In our last moments

I wish I could go with you

Just to make sure you’re okay

Before you go

I miss you already

In our last moments

I tell you I love you

How much you’ve changed my life

And how it’ll never be the same

I miss you already

    Awww. What a sweet tribute to your pup. So sorry. The repetition of “In our last moments” and “I miss you already” really hits hard.

    Oh my this is so sweet and sad and poignant. This especially got me, “I wish I could go with you, Just to make sure you’re okay.”
    I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is so hard. Harder than I ever thought possible.

    This is so poignant. The repetition of “I miss you already” and what you do in your final moments together is heart-breaking.
