GOODBYE
I was in my room that day.
She called and told me her Starmie had died.
Her voice was soft, choked, hoarse.
Misty, how she must have cried.
I offered my deepest condolences, tried to give her some encouragement or any kind of relief.
But she was crying still.
I didn't think she heard me.
She hung up. There was nothing more to say.
I left her alone to mourn her loss, to say her final goodbyes.
And to contemplate my own inevitable one someday.
When will the time come when I have say goodbye to you?
Pikachu?
I sit looking at you now, the thought of death has not touched you once.
Your fur is silk beneath my fingertips and I smile in sadness.
A time will come when I can no longer feel this luxury.
Even now, merely thoughts of it bring an ache to my heart.
When will the time come when I have say goodbye to you?
What would I do then?
I almost went through it once, years ago.
I had left you in that forest with the rest of your kind.
But you came back to me, wanted to stay with me.
I was honored, I was happy.
But death, it is a one way trip.
When will the time come when I have say goodbye to you where you can't come back?
Will the memories stay? Will I forget?
Would I cry?
A single tear slips by and down my cheek.
You look up in wonder.
*Somehow someday, we'd have to say goodbye.
When the time comes,
I would cry.
I would remember.
And I would miss you.

This short piece is a collection of thoughts and is dedicated to Brownie, the dog of my best friend which died on 2 May 2004. It inspired me to write this piece which is a reflection of my own thoughts towards my own pet. It also inspired an art piece which would be put up in the Pokemon Tower. Link: Look to the first review.
This piece is also dedicated to all pet owners out there who have gone through what all pet owners would eventually have to go through.
