Best Buds Forever

I still remember that day when you were a kitten, You were so small and fit in my hand like a mitten. I knew when I held you I would raise you, The love I felt was more than true. I was with you at my grandma's till I could take you home, Then the journey of raising you began... We brought you home and I showed you our house, I still remember when you saw your first mouse. You jumped out of my arms and made your attack, I stood there and watched you get your afternoon snack. Then we were deciding on names for you, I just felt something with dexter and knew it was true. I was only 8 and didn't know any better, I did some things that I still regret. I tormented you so bad, Looking back it makes me sad. But I grew up and knew how to take care of you, Even though what I did when I was younger made me feel blue. You grew up so fast, I never thought me and you as buds would last. But it did I'm so proud for that, Because in the end your my cat. Then came the day we would move into a bigger house, But you never again got a hold of a mouse. You were so scared but I took you under my wing. I showed you around the house and you were so happy. I redeemed myself from everything I had done. Things got better between us as the days flew by, The love strong that were flying so high together in the sky. You greet me when I walk through the door, I feel so touched that I fall to the floor. I cherish every second that your on my bed or just saying hi in my room, The smile that's on my face brings a tear that would make flowers bloom. Now your all grown up and still getting older, The temperature in my heart has gotten colder. So cold because I know your time is soon up, I'm struggling to figure out how full is my cup. I only wish you could live longer and we still be together, But we will always be best buds forever.
