We walk these streets, you and I,
under the fading light of skies that forget our names.
Your paws hit the earth like a heartbeat, steady,
and I wonder how many more beats are left.
Your eyes, they still see me,
but I fear the day they won't.
When your breath, now warm against my hand,
will be a ghost I chase but never hold.
You've been the only tether,
to this earth, to this life,
and I fear when you go,
I'll forget how to stay.
When you sleep beneath the soil,
will you wait for me?
Because I will follow, without question,
to the quiet where the sun never reaches.
If you go,
I'll be the shadow that trails after,
until there's no path left to walk,
no sky left to name us.
