Why are you crying?

Why are you crying? 

I'm still here,

I'm still alive, 

Still panting, 

Still loving.  

 

Do you remember? 

When I could swim? 

When I could jump? 

When I could run?  

When I could fetch?  

 

Can you feel it?  

My heart slowing,     

My heavy breathing slowing to a stop. 

I'm leaving now,        

Goodbye...

 

I'm still here.   

I'm swimming,

Running,  

And fetching.

I'm happy.

 

I'll wait for you.

I'll be here.

Don't cry,

Don't cry,

Don't cry.
