With every touch

I saw you in a place of silent pain,
A thousand broken hearts, yet you remained.
Two owners had left you behind,
In a house that held no love to find.
You waited, lost and cold, alone,
Until I came and took you home.
I saw the fear in your trembling eyes,
A wounded soul, with no disguise.
I saw myself in your silent stare,
A child who learned to hide and bear.
I knew then we were meant to be,
You and I, we’d set each other free.
Oh, I’ll hold you through every storm,
A love so pure, a love reborn.
Though you’ve gone, you’ve left your trace,
In my heart, you’ve found your place
In the quiet, you learned to trust,
With every touch, you healed the rust.
The toys and treats couldn’t win your heart,
But slowly, we’d learn where to start.
You’d wait at the door when the day was long,
Your wagging tail would right the wrong.
When life brought pain, you’d sit beside,
A gentle friend, a love you couldn’t hide.
Oh, I’ll hold you through every storm,
A love so pure, a love reborn.
Though you’ve gone, you’ve left your trace,
In my heart, you’ve found your place.
Why did you go so soon, my friend?
We had so many more days to spend.
If I knew this was the final kiss,
I would’ve loved you more, in every bliss.
Oh, I’ll hold you through every storm,
A love so pure, a love reborn.
Though you’ve gone, you’ve left your trace,
In my heart, you’ve found your place.
I’ll carry you in every step I take,
In the memories, I’ll never break.
You taught me love, and how to heal,
In your eyes, I’ll forever feel.
