Love from the other side

On a cool January morning, which seemed so gross,

I stood still, frozen, bemoaning my loss,

An angel then stepped into the lifeless fields below,

Couldn’t take my eyes off and marvel at how you could walk so slow

I followed you till strays took you apart,

then I darted off to play my part,

and the screaming became loud and clear,

My heart pounded and prayed – hold on and wait my dear,

As I reached the forlorn spot,

A pink-nosed white angel was left to Rot

I opened my arms and you opened your heart,

Promising each other we shall never be apart,

In some days you were having your first home meal,

My broken heart also started to heal

It was so fascinating to see you grow,

Tom, Spot and you showed what friends do in flow,

The love you bore me can never be rated,

Your eyes made sure it was always stated

Every time I stepped back into the house,

You made living worth, oh my little mouse,

How can I forget those lovely wet kisses,

I stopped thinking about all my life’s misses

You always looked so calm and happy,

Even when I did things that were crappy,

We shared moments of real love and joy,

Today is the day I cannot be coy

Those two years passed like a flash,

Not once did I think of the impending crash,

Then the saddest day came along,

Unaware and how foolishly, I was thinking nothing could go wrong,

Our partnership Afterall was meant to be a never-ending song 

The decision I took was for you to improve,

Didn’t know that fate would cruelly disapprove,

Please forgive me if I made a mistake,

This guilt and remorse can never abate,

As I said my final goodbyes,

I wanted to accompany you to the other world and it's not a lie

I knew My world would never be the same,

Because my Nacho was now only in the frame,

Now I always wait for the night to fall,

Hoping my angel would answer my dream call,

You’ve inspired me to take the spiritual path,

I know you are helping me even in the aftermath

The wise men say this separation is only temporary,

Meeting again is nothing out of the ordinary,

They also say we come in and go,

Life after life, and souls continue to grow,

These thoughts give me a reason to cheer,

For some moments at least there is no pain or fear

Today a year just passed since the dreaded day,

I have missed you so much is all I can say,

Promise me when my day shall arrive,

You will be there, and, from then on, together we shall drive

With Love from the other side
