I did the right thing by setting you free

Tears keep falling from my eyes

Like the heaviest of rain from the skies.

You can’t bring them back, they say.

How I wish I could prove them wrong today.

To be able to stroke your soft black fur and look into your eyes so brown.

My heart would be light again,

Having you around.

I did the right thing by setting you free

But the pain is very deep.

If only I could turn back time, forever, you I’d keep.
