I cried for you before But you were still at my side What a strong emotion to out pour To miss someone sitting right nearby My love for you ran deep That's why when I thought of this day Dry eyes I could not keep Now sadness has caught up with today Casting my world with a tinge of gray I reminisce back to day one If only fate could have a rerun I found myself on an unexpected road Stumbling along a path I didn't want to go I was climbing a mountain while fighting a storm within So peace was out of reach like music from a silent violin It took a season to figure it out But I finally heard the peaceful music all around There's nothing I would change on my travels throughout I met people and learned things I wouldn't take back And along the way I met a special cat I can already hear some make fun It's just a cat just like the rest But if you've ever known a forever one We're both lucky and know the best If you're confused by what I say Keep reading and I'll try to convey Like a firework dazzling against the night I visited you and something stood out I see fire light the sky every July But there's something about the ones you don't see coming You know, the ones that sneak by I've always laughed at love a first sight But it's true, some things never leave your mind Seeing you in a cage hurt without a doubt So I started to plan your breakout Before long you dashed into our everyday life A black and white puzzle piece that fit just right More dog than cat sometimes I had the best of both in one So many nicknames for your silly antics Our definite favorite was the jumping shoulder acrobatics A countdown is set against all our lives It was a shock to find yours set only to five Two continents with seas in-between Your final moments I wasn't there A piece of me now haunted within Guilt mixed with the sting of despair Residing in the place goodbye should have been Yes there's moments you look back and reminisce Nostalgia turns the good into great and the bad okay But then life gives you the other kind Memories your still living but instantly know you're going to miss So you try to imprint every detail to your mind Sending them to a place where they will be kept alive Imagine those moments transformed into a soul Transcending beyond the mere body To a bond you forever want to know That soul just happens to be in a cat My friends, this is what i call A Forever Cat |
