You taught me to sleep in the dark

19 years ago I met you
when I was ten…
I kept my door cracked at night, to protect me from all the gollums and monsters in the world
you would creep in my room at night on four paws and try to sleep on my chest
I loved you
but I had to close my door
you taught me how to sleep in the dark
19 years later you would sleep by my feet, and try to watch out my window
we both knew you could no longer see
but even in my 7 years away, you never forgot me
and you followed me up the steps every time I was home
which
was never often enough
but where ever else I went
no matter where it was, I could do it with out the lights on
you taught me to sleep in the dark
I love you
good bye
