Marshmallow

My heart is breaking right now as I whisper these words into the sweet little ear of the softest cat I’ve ever loved.

No matter how long I hold you,

You won’t come back.

No matter how long I pet you,

You won’t purr.

No matter how much I long for you,

You are already gone.

Your matter is still here, still warm;

Your soul is free from what was the matter.

No matter how long a goodbye lasts,

It still ends.

All that matters in the end 

Is how much I loved you.

Goodbye, Marshmallow.

Thank you for six and a half wonderful years.
