Always waiting
No, the dog never left
You may not have ever come again

He stayed
His gift to you
Months passed by slowly, with much pain

The dog was so worn
He had a desire to go home
He could not

Promises are far greater than time
One last month passed on
There you came walking by

His tears burned with sadness
Not even a glance can you give to him
There was somebody else by your side

Wait!
You stared into his scorched eyes and recognized him
No one had to say it, he knew
Goodbye

The dog buried his head into his freezing paws
Then, the misery was lifted
