Elegy

Once i have lost something very special in my life
Even though it was just a pet I still miss him
A dog that i rescued from the street

I feed it and helped him get on his feet

I found him in dull damp weather
and we ended up together
Everyday I always awoke to see his face
always grateful and excited
We played all day together
inside and outside
I always relied on him to get me in a better mood

One day he got so sick he needed to go to the vet
when i heard the news my body felt shaky like if there was an earthquake inside of me
Knowing i will lose him 
and not have him by my side
My heart pounded as fast as a speeding bullet
The next day when i heard he was ok
my heart felt relief after i heard the news
I knew i had him back

But then one day he ran away
someone left the gate open and he ran
I got a teary eye when i heard
We searched for him all day
No luck
I finally gave up thinking i will never see him again
Around 12 or 1 am me and my mom heard whimpering
it was coming from the alley i found him in
when we checked it was my dog

My family needed to move away 
But the new owners did not accept pets of any sort
My heart fell down to my stomach 
but we needed to move
I said my final goodbyes to my dog
We gave him away 
And I never heard of him since that day
