To Marcus, With love.
Dear Marcus.
Mom called yesterday. She told me you were no more. I almost didnt believe her. But soon it sunk in. I tried to tell you how sorry I was for a lot of things but you were already gone. I wanted to say I am sorry I, like everyone else, took you for granted. Sorry for all the walks that I promised you but didnt take you for. For all the times I denied you chocolate because I was selfish to want you around, to not want to shorten your life by 4 minutes. For all the times when you looked at me with those doggy eyes filled with longing for a hug and I pushed you away because I was busy. For all the times you gave me you love and I failed to reciprocate. For all the times we locked you in a room because outsiders or visitors were scared of you. Now that you are gone I am really going to miss coming home to your wagging tail, for sitting and eating or reading with you by my side, with hugging you when I wanted to cry, to wake you up at 2 A.M because I was too scared to go down alone, all the games that we played together.
Marcus, maybe to everyone else you were a dog. But for me you were my forever companion. I never realised that we would have such less time together. But I want you to know that I loved you and will really miss you, and have learnt a lot from you.
Love,
Me.
