Fifteen years of tears I spared
now spent on you,
So the deafness of your ears could not resist
the last ‘I love you’.
This stormy night a living wake
As we lie in fear of a hurricane,
but I would have stayed up with you anyway.
Still, like teardrops in rain, every moment missed
is mist forever;
So I swear that as your hairs disappear from this house
we will not forget you.
This place does not belong without you;
How great a dog you had to be to go
and all the lights in your home follow.
